Preview: What We Can Learn From Lincoln

December 18, 2012

On this week’s Moyers & Company, Pulitzer Prize-winner Tony Kushner, who wrote the screenplay for Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln, joins Bill for a “history lesson about politics.” The two talk about finding the man inside the monument, and what Abraham Lincoln — 147 years after his death — can still teach us all about politics, compromise, and the survival of American democracy.

Watch and share the short preview above.
