The Center for American Progress and the Progressive Book Club are pleased to announce the first event in the 2010 season of their joint authors series, "Moving Forward: Foundations of a New Progressive Era." The CAP/PBC series is designed to examine a range of issues emerging from the intersection of history, philosophy, political theory, and public policy. Each event features a different topic and authors with live and online audiences debating and discussing the issues raised.
Our first event of 2010 will feature historian Jackson Lears, author of Rebirth of a Nation: The Making of Modern America, 1877-1920, and presidential scholar, Sidney Milkis, author of Theodore Roosevelt, the Progressive Party, and the Transformation of American Democracy, discussing the cultural and political changes of the original progressive era and how these ideas continue to influence American politics today.
