About this Event

In a polarized era, history can become a subject of political contention. Many see America as perfect, while others argue that the national experiment is fundamentally flawed. In the anthology American Struggle: Democracy, Dissent, and the Pursuit of a More Perfect Union, Pulitzer Prize–winning biographer and #1 New York Times bestselling author Jon Meacham shows that the truth likely lies between these extremes. America has had shining hours, and also dark ones. Meacham unites essential American voices from 1619 to the present, with primary-source documents that take us back to critical moments when Americans fought over the meaning and direction of the national experiment.
