Thought Exercise: Deborah Baker

Dig deeper with our Thought Exercise series. Hear from experts on urgent issues of our time, then join in on the discussion during a wide-ranging, interactive exchange. Today's guest is Pulitzer Prize-finalist Deborah Baker, who - in Charlottesville - explores how a catastrophic weekend in August 2017 became emblematic for the fight for the soul of contemporary America. Together, participants will discuss the precariousness of democracy, how history repeats itself, and why resistance isn't just urgent - it can actually work. Chaired by Alisha Fernandez Miranda.
