"ROAD SCHOLAR" DAVID COLBURN AT THE NEW TAMPA REGIONAL LIBRARY

Tampa-Hillsborough County Public Libraries welcome Florida Humanities Council Road Scholar David Colburn on Thursday, March, 19 at 7 pm to the New Tampa Regional Library, 10001 Cross Creek Boulevard, Tampa.

In his latest book, From Yellow Dog Democrats to Red State Republicans: Florida and Its Politics since 1940 (University Press of Florida, 2007), Colburn discusses the population growth and chaotic gubernatorial politics that altered the Sunshine State from 1940, when it was a sleepy impoverished southern outpost, to the present and the emergence of a dominant Republican Party.

From Yellow Dog Democrats to Red State Republicans: Florida and Its Politics since 1940 will be available for purchase and author signing.

This program is cosponsored by the Development Committee, Friends of the Library of Tampa-Hillsborough County, Inc. and the Florida Humanities Council. For more information about this and other FREE programs @ your library®, please call (813) 273-3652 or visit hcplc.org.
