Insightful author interviews 

Saturday 10 PM, Sunday 6 PM and 9 PM,

Monday 12 AM and 3 AM 
ET

In Wrong on Race: The Democratic Party's Buried 
Past, author Bruce Bartlett argues that the 
Democratic Party had a racist past and he says 
there's an unfair perception of America's two national 
parties. In his book, he contends that Democratic 
presidents and congressmen of the past supported 
racial segregation and the "Jim Crow" laws that 
dominated the Confederate states. Mr. Bartlett 
discussed his book with Clarence Page, 
syndicated columnist at the Chicago Tribune.

Douglass and Lincoln: How a Revolutionary Black 
Leader and a Reluctant Liberator Struggled to End 
Slavery and Save the Union

Paul and Stephen Kendrick recount the relationship 
between Fredrick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. 
The authors present President Lincoln as a reluctant 
abolitionist whose three meetings with Douglass from 
1863 to 1865 and further reading of Douglass's 
writings encouraged Lincoln to believe that the Civil 
War could not be won without emancipation. Paul and 
Stephen Kendrick discuss their book at the
