Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Doris Kearns Goodwin's latest book is devoted to her late husband, Richard Goodwin, whose speeches for Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson and Senator Robert F. Kennedy produced some of the most memorable phrases of the era. She talks about her upcoming book, "An Unfinished Love Story: A Personal History of the 1960s," with CBS News chief election and campaign correspondent Robert Costa, and about how history and politics shaped their lives together. Goodwin also explains why she believes people who choose to tune out from participating in this year's critical presidential election are "cowardly."

    Ms Doris Goodwin knowledge of American history is incredible. From Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Johnson to her lovely memories growing up loving baseball, I think she’s the only historian that I can actually relate to, the way she shares history with the public is so vibrant, you can see the love and dedication she has for our country. I hope she keeps sharing her infinite knowledge with us and I highly recommend you guys watch Ken Burns’ documentaries, she’s almost in every one of them.
  • Just LOVE Doris Kearns - she brings history to life - a national treasure!!! Thank you Doris for your service to the common , everyday American. 💜💜💜

    This is the most uplifting thing I've watched in a long time. Thank you, Ms. Goodwin! Please keep speaking up, more ppl need to hear your voice at this historic cross road!

    Took a class in college called The Life and Times of Martin Luther King, Junior. Surprisingly, the class talked A LOT about LBJ, and we learned what a crazy character he really was. Hearing Doris talk about LBJ reminded me that when you are the President of the United States, you can maintain decorum in public and still be yourself when the spotlight is not on you. Wonderful story!!!

    Great that Doris is not letting the memory of '50s trailblazer Richard be forgotten. The Goodwins, two literary legends!
