A panel discussion reflecting on the legacy of the Civil War and today’s divide in the United States

This diverse panel featuring University of Nebraska experts joined by Nebraska leaders and celebrated author Jeremi Suri will be facilitated by Will Thomas, Angle Chair in the Humanities and Professor of History at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.

At Lied Commons at Lied Center for Performing Arts. Free admission, no tickets required.

This event is presented in partnership with the Sheldon Museum of Art and is connected to the world-premiere production of the play “A House Divided.” Suri is the author and editor of 11 books on contemporary politics and foreign policy, most recently “Civil War By Other Means: America’s Long and Unfinished Fight for Democracy.” He also hosts the weekly “This is Democracy” podcast, which illuminates ways in which the past offers hope for the present and the future, if only we can escape the negativity of our current moment.
