Did you enjoy this week's episode of Clear+Vivid? @AlanAlda chats with @FSBarry Taking the Lincoln Highway to America 👉 bit.ly/3B1wSUc After production costs, all proceeds of #ClearAndVivid go to @AldaCenter


Looking forward to this on Friday - the South Bend chapters of Back Roads & Better Angels have become even more pertinent to our politics.

Francis S. Barry will speak on the America he saw on a 2020 trip on the Old Lincoln Highway where he asked people about democracy today. southbendtribune.com/story/entertai…

New York needs an Olympic goal: Paris shows how a city can improve its permanent infrastructure nydailynews.com/2024/08/18/new… Micah Lasher will provide new energy and ideas for our city and state.


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…



So great to see @adirondackcream - and their delicious ice cream and inspiring story - get highlighted by @CBSMornings youtu.be/KgUB_3bS3SI?si…

Americans are good people - so why do we seem so far apart? Author @FSBarry set out around the country to find out. andrewyang.com/blog/what-the-…


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. youtu.be/z3POleXafNI



Big thanks to @TheRickWilson and @ProjectLincoln for having me - it was a fun discussion about the Lincoln Highway and one of the most important lessons about democracy from it.

NEW: Author Francis Barry discusses his book 'Backroads and Better Angels: A Journey into the Heart of American Democracy' w/ LP Podcast host @TheRickWilson, and his cross-country road trip to explore the values that hold America together. LISTEN: youtu.be/w73H_GeiHLU



Centrism is often misunderstood, as @YairZivan explains in this good piece - and as yesterday’s primaries in both parties showed, it is far from dead. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
