Join renowned historian Heather Cox Richardson for an evening of reflection on the state of American democracy and the lessons history offers for our shared future. Known for her widely read daily newsletter Letters from an American, Richardson brings clarity and insight to the complex forces shaping our political and civic life.

In conversation with Dean Randy Hollerith, Dr. Richardson will explore how truth-telling, civic courage, and historical perspective can help us navigate division and rediscover a sense of common purpose as a nation.
