What’s better than talking with people about the history that shapes the present and drives the future?

Talking since 2014.

I talk and I write about American history for a wide array of people in a wide array of places, in church basements and large auditoriums, in national newspapers and third-grade classrooms. And it works—I’ve never talked about history to people who didn’t care about it, sometimes more than they thought they did.

That’s because everyone is interested in how the present is shaped by what happened in the past,
and knows that the future will be shaped by what we believe happened the past.

Everyone has a stake in that. That’s work we all have to do together. It’s the work I plan to do forever.
