Common Ground With Jane Whitney

Is Unity The Impossible Dream?

Common Ground's second show of the season focuses on whether the widespread longing for compromise and civility is nothing more than the vestigial dreams of a bygone era - or if the country can recapture the unity of spirit and purpose that has written America's history in overcoming previous crises. The panelists, leading voices from across a broad swath of the political spectrum, will talk about the formidable forces empowering the fringes and why the majority of Americans are relegated to the political sidelines to bemoan their diminishing influence.
