“The Urban-Rural Divide in American History Or, Why Can't We Get Along?”
6:30 p.m. Friday, June 10, 2022
Dr. Steven Conn
We are a nation of urbanites, and yet we are filled with people who don’t like cities very much. The rural-urban divide is one of the nation's oldest political rifts. The result has been an ever-widening debate over who — urban or rural — is a “real American.” Dr. Steven Conn will explore the deep roots of the American hostility toward our cities and ask questions about our continuing nostalgia for rural life.
This program will also stream live on YouTube on the Kansas Historical Society channel.
