No one writes of our history with the passion of this man. Fortunately for us that passion is contagious.

The America heating left will never allow American history of this caliber to be taught in schools they would rather indoctrinate our children with edgy LGBTQ

I just found Mr David McCullough yesterday. I have loved his speaking. We must learn from our history so we do not repeat the bad stuff again. I love history especially about out our Founding Father's 🇺🇸🇺🇸

THANK YOU so VERY much for having filmed this speaking event and then posting it! I have never had the opportunity to see the speaker in person and I have been a GREAT admirer. How blessed we are and have been in his presence. Thank you again!!

Rest in Peace David McCullough. Thank you for speaking honestly and literally at every turn as you educated us listeners. Sometimes people don't know where to look for good historical knowledge, and sometimes, even how to absorb it can be fleeting. You taught us to understand that their time, 1700s America, was as real and present for them as our modern day struggle for security in a city like Los Angeles, today.

"One of the most difficult things to teach about studying history is to realize that nobody lived in the past. They lived in the present. It was their present -- it wasn't ours. It was different from ours. It is important to remember that. They didn't know how things would turn out. That is the hubris of the present. That somehow we are superior. We know so much more than those folks. In many ways they were superior to us." 10:30-12:00

Especially points on education are spot on. Its sad, not just teachings in history or even anything humanities related for that matter. Its also sad if kids dont have the family or relatives to talk about such interesting topics if they have an interest for it but no one to guide then through. Teachers are so important there.

Yes, but don’t miss the wonderful introduction that precedes him. That helps one understand the relationship between McCullough and the Massachusetts Historical Society that he goes on to praise after 3:40.

Agreed. It proves his point that we are failing to transmit the subjects and importance of history within our society. We need to demand that history .. and civics .. be taught in our schools and promoted in our communities. Its our responsibility.

The only complaint I have is, where did they find a 1980 's camera in 2014? The video was just awful. But I truly enjoyed listening to his stories!

David's answer to the final question in the Q&A, dare I say, has Donald Trump written all over it....Washington, one of the wealthiest colonists at the time, sought and accepted the role of leadership despite the manifold risks. That has a familiar ring to it. The signers if the Declaration pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honors to the cause. Over the intervening 240 years of our history, too many of our leaders have translated Washington's personal sacrifice and comittment into a pattern of personal gain and self aggrandizement through politics. Trump had everything to lose personally and very little to gain by running for President. Uncharacteristically for a modern day politician he delivered on his campaign promises, and yet he has been vilified and attacked by the media and political elites. Washington would have approved of Trump.

One of the easiest reads ever. Along with Dolores Kearns Goodwin ,,and above all the great Will Durant, whom no one will surpass for making history readable. I tried Walter Issacson, but he just didnt do it for me. I enjoy him as a speaker, but not a writer.
