About this Lecture
Historian and political commentator Heather Cox Richardson joins UC Berkeley professor of law and history Dylan Penningroth in a timely conversation about the reshaping of the United States’ two major political parties. A professor of 19th century American history at Boston College, Richardson provides an incisive perspective on current politics to the more than three million readers of her nightly newsletter, Letters from an American. She has written for the Washington Post, the New York Times, and the Guardian, and is the author, most recently, of the best-selling book Democracy Awakening: Notes on the State of America. Penningroth is the author of the award-winning Before the Movement: The Hidden History of Black Civil Rights. He serves as Associate Dean of the Program in Jurisprudence and Social Policy at the UC Berkeley Law School; his scholarship focuses on African American and legal history.
