Author Talk: Byron Williams
Byron Williams discusses Liberty and Equality in America, his sixth book, which “examines the central tension between America's founding ideals of liberty and equality and the country's often contradictory history,” taking in slavery, westward expansion, capitalism and civil liberties. Williams is a columnist, adjunct professor and former NPR-affiliate host whose 1963: The Year of Hope and Hostility won the 2014 International Book Award for US History.
