ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
“The Soul of America” by Jon Meacham explores the ongoing struggle between fear and hope throughout American history. The book examines key moments when the nation faced crises—such as the Civil War, the Great Depression, and the Civil Rights Movement—and how moral leadership, particularly from presidents like Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson, helped guide the country toward justice and equality. Meacham reflects on the role of citizens and leaders in shaping America's values, emphasizing the importance of hope in overcoming divisions and injustice while upholding the nation’s founding ideals of liberty and equality.
