Bill Moyers speaks with historian Simon Schama, who spent months
traveling across America in the run-up to an historic election to
discover what events in our nation's past can tell us about how we
live today and what's in store for the future. In his four-part BBC
series "The American Future: A History," Schama looks at how
conflicts in the past resonate in political life today, addressing
such issues as land resources, war, faith and immigration. Schama
is professor of art history and history at Columbia University in
New York, and he also has written and presented more than 30
documentaries for the BBC.
