American Heritage: Authenticity

Guest: Grant Madsen, Ph.D., History Professor at BYU  The culture wars. Politicians identify themselves or malign others with labels: Conservatives. Neo-cons. Liberals. Libertarians. Today, in our weekly segment called “American Heritage,” we’re going to go back to the 1960s, where Professor Grant Madsen identifies the origins of our modern culture wars. This week my colleague Marcus Smith and Professor Madsen delve into the history of the animosity that constantly creeps up in our current political culture.
