Reviving America: A Conversation on a Path Forward
In an era when American politics feels more broken than ever, two of the most respected voices of a different political age come together for a timely public conversation. Former U.S. Senators Bill Bradley and Jack Danforth reflect candidly—and personally—on how we got here, what has been lost, and what can be recovered. Drawing on stories of bipartisan friendship, faith, compromise, and public service, they will explore what politics looks like at its best, what it means to be “a republic, if you can keep it,” and how ordinary citizens can help heal a fractured nation.
