Nikole Hannah-Jones on Democracy, Resistance and The Politics of Memory

Against the backdrop of sweeping changes in America’s cultural and political institutions – where history is increasingly mobilized as a tool of control – this talk confronts the urgent fault lines of the present: Who gets to define a nation’s story? What happens when education becomes a battleground? And how can independent journalism hold its ground in a landscape scarred by censorship, revisionism, and collective amnesia?

Moderated by Hani Salih, this evening with Nikole Hannah-Jones offers a powerful lens on America’s political crossroads and explores the deep connections between history, democracy, and the struggle for justice – at a time when all three are under threat.
