As difficult as the present is, the American past is the story of challenges overcome, crises resolved, and progress made. In this nonpartisan speech, Jon Meacham walks audiences through moments that have seemed intractable to offer lessons for leaders on how to endure and prevail when everything appears hopeless. The presentation is an anecdotally rich reflection on history and a forward-leaning call for constructive habits of citizenship.
