"Trump Versus History: How Trump is trying to change our sense of who we are."
Historians "have opened the gates of historical knowledge to myriad new subjects and methods that have educated a largely curious and willing world. Now we have to mobilize to defend our profession not only with research and teaching but in the realm of politics and public persuasion." What if History Died by Sanctioned Ignorance?, David W. Blight; The New Republic, September, 2025
In this TNR Live, Blight talks with some fellow academics on how they must fight to preserve our history AND democracy.
