\nThe Bull Run Speaker Series
\n
\nDoris Kearns Goodwin is a world-renowned presidential historian\, public speaker and Pulitzer Prize-winning\, \;New York Times #1 best-selling author. \;Her seventh book\, \;Leadership in Turbulent Times\, was published in September 2018 to critical acclaim \;and became an instant New York Times bestseller. A culmination of Goodwin&rsquo\;s five-decade career of \;studying the American presidents focusing on Presidents Abraham Lincoln\, Theodore Roosevelt\, Franklin \;Roosevelt and Lyndon Baines Johnson\, the book provides an accessible and essential road map for \;aspiring and established leaders in every field\, and for all of us in our everyday lives.
\nGoodwin&rsquo\;s career as a presidential historian and author was inspired when as a 24-year-old graduate \;student at Harvard she was selected to join the White House Fellows\, one of America&rsquo\;s most prestigious \;programs for leadership and public service. Goodwin worked with Johnson in the White House and later \;assisted him in the writing of his memoirs. \;She then wrote \;Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream\, which became a national bestseller and \;achieved critical acclaim. It will be re-released in Spring 2019\, with a new foreword highlighting LBJ&rsquo\;s \;accomplishments in domestic affairs that have stood the test of time. \;Goodwin was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for \;No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Home \;Front in World War II. The Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys \;was adapted into an award-winning five-part \;television miniseries. Her memoir \;Wait Till Next Year \;is the heartwarming story of growing up loving her \;family and baseball. Her sixth book\, \;The Bully Pulpit: Theodore Roosevelt\, William Howard Taft\, and the \;Golden Age of Journalism\, won the Carnegie Medal and is being developed into a film. \;Goodwin&rsquo\;s \;Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln \;served as the basis for Steven \;Spielberg&rsquo\;s hit film Lincoln and was awarded the prestigious Lincoln Prize\, the inaugural Book Prize for \;American History\, and the Lincoln Leadership Prize. \;Well known for her appearances and commentary on television\, Goodwin is frequently seen in \;documentaries\, \;on news and cable networks including Meet The Press and The Late Show with Stephen \;Colbert. She played herself as a teacher on The Simpsons and a historian on American Horror Story. \;She was the first woman to enter the Boston Red Sox locker \;room in 1979\, and is a devoted fan of the World Series-winning team. \;Photo Credit: Annie Leibovitz
