JHU Hub

At Johns Hopkins University’s annual Democracy Day, new students learn about the importance of—and threats to—modern democracies

Much of this year’s programming focused on the problems facing democracy, a theme JHU President Ron Daniels echoed in his opening remarks.

After his remarks, Daniels introduced Maryland Attorney General Anthony G. Brown, who previously served as the state’s lieutenant governor and as a U.S. Congressman representing Maryland’s 4th Congressional District. Brown stressed that democracy depends on more than just individual participation.
