Hope Through History: How to Survive Turbulent Times
SUNDAY, September 13 – 4 p.m. (CT)
Purdue Northwest, Westville Campus
Jon Meacham is a Pulitzer Prize-winning presidential historian and one of America’s most prominent public intellectuals. He returns to the Sinai Forum to present “Hope Through History: How to Survive Turbulent Times” — drawn from his critically acclaimed History Channel podcast of the same name.
Meacham is the author of multiple New York Times bestsellers, including his latest, “American Struggle: Democracy, Dissent and the Pursuit of a More Perfect Union,” a sweeping anthology tracing the American story from 1619 to the present. A distinguished visiting professor at Vanderbilt University, where he holds the Rogers Chair in the American Presidency, Meacham is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and a fellow of the Society of American Historians.
He was awarded the National Humanities Medal in 2024.
This program is sponsored by Family Express and the McMillan Family Foundation.
