E9 American Visions with Ed Ayers

Historian Ed Ayers, recipient of the Presidential Medal of Humanities and former president of the University of Richmond, joins Becca Messman and faith250 clergy colleagues to discuss his book American Visions and the decades before the Civil War, when religious faith shaped nearly every major controversy in the young nation. Drawing on his years leading Richmond’s commemoration of the Civil War and Emancipation, Ayers explains why faith communities, with trust built over years, are among the places best equipped to face hard history. He describes history as a field of questions rather than settled answers, separates challenging people from offending them, and closes with the hope he finds in the past: events have rarely turned out the way people expected, and the possibility of progress is always there for ordinary people to draw on through small acts of citizenship.
