In the mid-20th century two men, John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon, went to war for the White House. In doing so they began a generation long battle over the heart and soul of this nation, over the American spirit. We still live in their collective shadow. In this class, we will write, we will debate, we will practice storytelling, we will hone our skills as citizens and readers all while studying the legacies (histories, speeches, policies, followings, assassinations, etc.) of these two American Presidents and the era that changed a nation. This course fulfills your O (Oral Communication Requirement) and COM2 requirements.
