The acceptance speech I gave for the Francis Parkman Prize at the annual meeting of the Society of American Historians, which took place at New York City's Century Club on May 16, has been published by the good folks over at HNN.
The speech touches variously on writing, working class history, inequality, democracy, and, of course, the seventies, among other themes. As I concluded, unless something changes in how the world works, this may be one of the last times a janitor's kid receives such a prestigious award.
