Dr. George Cotkin, noted Professor of Intellectual History at
California Polytechnic University will speak on: “Black Like Me” by
John Howard Griffin. Dr. Cotkin is author of: “William James, Public
Philosopher,” “Reluctant Modernism, American Thought and Culture
1880-1900,” “ Existential America,” and recently, “History’s Moral
Turn.”
Dr. Cotkin ponders whether societies or historians can experience
the empathy necessary to understand or represent “other.” Was John
Howard Griffin making history, writing history, or engaging in a
delusional attempt to bridge the racial gap? Have “we” made progress
since the ‘60s in understanding “other”?
