Summary

In Part 2 of my conversation with historian Dr. Heather Cox Richardson, we unpack the history and mythology that's driving some of the biggest issues in our country.

It’s a hard and hopeful conversation and absolutely critical listening at this point in our history. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
