At this challenging time in our nation’s history, marked by crises such as the fight to protect democracy in Ukraine, domestic polarization, ongoing struggles for racial and economic justice, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Doris Kearns Goodwin offers historical context. She notes that not since the 1850s has the U.S. been so politically divided, nor faced such collective hardships since the Great Depression and World War II, or struggled for equality as in the 1960s. Drawing from her book, "Leadership: In Turbulent Times," Goodwin illustrates how past presidents like Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, and Lyndon Johnson navigated similar challenges. Attendees will learn valuable lessons, gain solace, and find hope from history.
