John Dickerson on the American Presidency
About the Event:
As the uprising for social justice spreads around the world, it has inspired calls and direct actions to topple all kinds of institutions and practices, from local police forces to Confederate monuments, to our entire system of government. Does the modern presidency need to be rethought? 60 Minutes correspondent John Dickerson, an expert on the history of the American presidency, argues it has long been in need of repair and believes it is the American people who possess the power to do that. Join dean and professor at Northwestern's Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Communications Charles Whitaker and Dickerson for a conversation on his new book The Hardest Job in the World about how to reimagine one of our country’s most significant institutions.
