Reviving Civic Education in American Classrooms, w/ Jack Miller Center President, Hans Zeiger

from History Shorts

In this episode, I sit down with Hans Zeiger, President of the Jack Miller Center and former Washington State legislator. Hans shares how a childhood love of presidential biographies and interviewing WWII veterans in his hometown of Puyallup sparked his lifelong commitment to history and public service. Hans offers thoughtful insights on self-government, the role of education in sustaining democracy, and how we can use this 250th anniversary moment to strengthen our shared civic purpose. If you care about history, education, or the future of American democracy, this conversation is for you.
