Join for a dialogue on the environmental movement—its resonant past and its yet-to-be determined future. New York Times–bestselling author and acclaimed presidential historian Douglas Brinkley will discuss his new history of the environmental awakening of the Long Sixties (1960–1973), Silent Spring Revolution. Veteran environmentalist and Delaware Riverkeeper Maya K. van Rossum, author of her newly updated book, The Green Amendment, will discuss her visionary solution for saving the planet: bypass the failed strategy of legislative environmentalism and aim instead to directly amend our state and federal constitutions.

Moderator: Brian Sweany, formerly of Texas Monthly and a principal at Genuine Article, an independent Dallas-based communications firm
