Heather Cox Richardson launches Turning Out For History

Heather Cox Richardson launched a new newsletter, Turning Out For History, on March 30, 2026. She also released an American Conversations interview with Timothy Snyder on YouTube, a public dialogue between two prominent historians. Richardson is the author of Letters from an American and has a large media profile, which gives the project wide reach and influence. The series matters because it frames current political events through historical analysis, aiming to shape public understanding and civic engagement.
