Presidential historian and scholar Dr. Jeremi Suri discusses a country rebuilding itself as it wrestles with competing visions of democracy, race and freedom, in a conversation moderated by Bill Shute, Executive Director of the LBJ Washington Center. Dr. Suri shares his analysis of democracy, starting in 1865 when the Confederacy was militarily defeated and continues through 2022. This is the subject of his new book Civil War by Other Means: America's Long and Unfinished Fight for Democracy.
This event is the third installment of a special series titled “Policy Lessons from the Past" with four Texas-based policy experts discussing how our shared history impacts today's political environment, spanning topics like racial justice, immigration, global confrontations and the very nature of democracy. “Policy Lessons from the Past” is presented by the LBJ School Washington Center.
