Historian and Author Doris Kearns Goodwin to Kick Off 2009 George T. Hunter Lecture Series
The Benwood Foundation, in partnership with the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, the Ochs Center for Metropolitan Studies, and CreateHere, has announced that the 2009 George T. Hunter Lecture Series will kick off on January 13th with world-renowned historian and author, Doris Kearns Goodwin. Ms. Goodwin, an expert on presidential politics, is the author of several books including the Pulitzer Prize-winning No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The American Homefront During World War II. Her most recent book is entitled Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln, which won the Lincoln Prize and the Book Prize for American History. Speaking just one week prior to the presidential inauguration, Ms. Goodwins lecture will focus on leadership lessons learned from Abraham Lincoln.
The lectures will begin at 7pm in the Roland Hayes Concert Hall located inside the Fine Arts Center on the UTC campus. All lectures are free and open to the public. Seating is limited and is on a first-come first-serve basis. More information on the George T. Hunter Lecture Series is available (here).
Doris Kearnes Goodwin? Here? A week before the inauguration? You had better believe I’ll be there. I also plan to contact UTC to see about getting her to come into the NewsChannel9 studios. Stay tuned.
