Great talking with @carolmassar and @mattmiller1973 about what we found on the Lincoln Highway and beyond - and why it matters now.
“…… part of the story of the book is highlighting those ways, the kind of the values that have led us out of the dark times…. ”. So enjoyed talking with @FSBarry who joined @mattmiller1973 & me today.

Thanks for having me on @NickHalaris - and for the thoughtful conversation! Really enjoyed it - listen below:.
I read “Back Roads and Better Angels” recently and walked away feeling both inspired and invigorated. Francis does a masterful job weaving together important, often untold, stories from our history with interesting stories, perspectives, and ideas from real #Americans he met on.

Many thanks to @AmanpourCoPBS for spotlighting not just political divisions but bonds of unity, too, and to @WalterIsaacson for the good conversation.
In 2020, @FSBarry made his way across the U.S., speaking with people from every walk of life. He joins @WalterIsaacson to discuss his new book, "Back Roads and Better Angels," in which he chronicles his cross-country quest to bridge the partisan divide.
