Doris Kearns Goodwin: Leadership for a More Perfect Union: Lessons from America at 250
Drawing on her study of visionary leaders, including George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, and Lyndon Johnson, Goodwin explores how leadership, civic courage, and a shared sense of purpose have guided America through moments of division and transformation. In this dynamic and timely presentation, Goodwin connects the lessons of history to today, urging us to unite around our common purpose and consider how we can work together toward a more inclusive, hopeful, and united future. With a personal connection to the nation’s founding—through an ancestor who fought in the Revolutionary War—she brings a unique, intimate perspective on the American experiment. Audiences will leave inspired, uplifted, and equipped to think differently about leadership, unity, and their role in shaping that future.
This event is co-sponsored by George and Carol Bauer Leaders Academy, John C. Danforth Center on Religion and Politics, Office of the Provost, and the Weidenbaum Center.
This event is part of WashU's Leadership Week.
