On April 19th, the Weehawken chapter co-hosted an event with two other WHS Honor Societies, “An Afternoon with Joshua Zeitz." Mr. Zeitz, an historian and New York Times' bestselling author of
Building the Great Society: Inside the Lyndon Johnson's White House and
Lincoln's Boys: John Hay, John Nicolay, and the War for Lincoln's Image presented a wonderful talk about his latest book and then went into his writing process. After 40 minutes, he opened the remaining part of the hour to student questions. The first six students to ask questions of Mr. Zeitz were surprised with customed autographed hardcover copies of his latest book as a souvenir keepsake. Our goal for events like this is to leverage the interests of Rho Kappa Social Studies Honors Society to demonstrate to all WHS students to the enduring relevance of the humanities in their education and their lives.
