This free lecture by Jeremi Suri, from the University of Texas-Austin, will provide a thought-provoking presentation related to “A House Divided” and the legacy of the Civil War. This event is presented in partnership with 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. Suri will share insights from his scholarship on the Civil War, including historical divisions in the U.S. and connections to current affairs. A free ticket is required to attend this event in the Ethel S. Abott Auditorium at Sheldon Museum of Art on the UNL campus.
