Event Description
The late political activist and U.S. congressman John Lewis coined the phrase "good trouble" to describe his civil disobedience in the 1960s. Others who did not share his vision, considered his actions as merely "disturbing the peace." This talk seeks to answer what role have the humanities played in times of crisis, contentiousness and incredible disagreement by looking at selected works of American leaders and how they frame today's perspectives and debates about racism.
Presented by John Edgar Tidwell, professor emeritus of English at the University of Kansas.
Sponsored by Humanities Kansas.
