Lathan Lecture with Steve Inskeep

Join the Cashiers Historical Society for the inaugural Lathan Lecture, featuring Steve Inskeep. The Lathan Lecture honors Dr. Robert Lathan Jr. for his years of service to the Cashiers community by researching and writing local history. This year, Steve Inskeep will share what he learned while researching his latest book, Differ We Must: How Lincoln Succeeded in a Divided America. A book signing will follow.
Steve Inskeep is a trusted and seasoned journalist, best known as the host of NPR’s Morning Edition and the morning news podcast Up First. With a career spanning decades, Inskeep has built a reputation for bringing depth, nuance, and clarity to the news, guiding millions of listeners through the most pressing events of our time. While he has conducted in-depth interviews with presidents and congressional leaders, Inskeep is equally dedicated to amplifying the voices of everyday Americans—from Pennsylvania truck drivers and Kentucky coal miners to Yemeni refugees and California firefighters.
