James Loewen, Ph.D., one of America’s most provocative public historians, will speak about Civil War memory in Richmond and the South. Loewen’s research focuses on how Americans remember their past and the ways in which that past has been misrepresented in the classroom, and he is best known for his book, “Lies My Teacher Told Me.” Loewen has taught at several universities, including the University of Vermont and the Catholic University of America. He has played a central role in conversations across the nation about the reframing of U.S. history textbooks to provide students with a more balanced and accurate knowledge of the past.
