In coordination with the Harvard Club of Dallas
American history has always been in the crosshairs of the so-called “culture wars.” From the many myths of the nation’s “founding” to the contested “causes” of the Civil War to contemporary conflicts over critical race theory, The 1619 Project, and teaching LGBTQ history, the past is political precisely because it is always present. In this wide-ranging and provocative lecture, Professor McCarthy will make a forceful case for why—and how—the politics of history is both a vital tradition and a moral obligation in the United States.
Harvard Professor Timothy Patrick McCarthy will be our honored speaker for this annual event. His presentation promises to be engaging and informative.
