I love listening to Professor Richardson! She always teaches me some history that I didn’t know and she inspires me with her faith that our democracy can survive if we work together! ❤

What a lovely discussion. Heather is right. This moment, these horrific circumstances, are turning so many of us into the people we had no idea we could be, and that's a good thing!

A lovely and affirming discussion. My lefty brother is dying today so sitting with the two of you has been good for me. I wish he would be able to listen to this interview with me

The fact is, America has never been closer to losing it's democracy. Beyond politics, Heather is a historian, an academic, with a generous tone that reassures those of us, that fret through this daily political madness. She is a teacher, a cheerleader, and a sanctuary! Show your support. She is a national treasure!
