Samuel G. Freedman, presented by Hofstra’s Great Writers, Great Readings Series

A former columnist for The New York Times and a professor at Columbia University, Freedman is the author of 10 acclaimed books, including the newly-released Into the Bright Sunshine: Young Hubert Humphrey and the Fight for Civil Rights. Jon Meacham has hailed the book as “a compelling and important account of Humphrey’s critical role in the freedom struggles of the mid-20th century.”
