Clements Lecture News Today

Drawing from her book, "The Deadline: Essays," Lepore will reflect on the relationship between America's past and its fractious present, exploring such difficult questions as "Why does impeachment no longer work?" and "Why do race riot commissions never fix anything?"

Author and historian Jill Lepore will speak Sept. 12 at the University of Kentucky library as part of the Earle C. Clements Lecture-Symposium.

A celebrated NPR correspondent was in Lexington Thursday night. Political reporter and analyst Mara Liasson gave a lecture covering the big issues facing voters in the midterm elections, including inflation, immigration, and abortion.

In this eye-opening presentation, one of the nation’s most experienced journalists shares how she gets to the source of what’s happening behind-the-scenes, how well the American public is being served by today’s media and political environment, and how future elections will impact what lies beyond the beltway.
