David McCullough is an iconic two-time Pulitzer Prize winning historian whose work encompasses notable people from John Adams to his latest work on the Wright Brothers. We spend a few minutes with him this morning in anticipation of his appearance with author Stacy Schiff at The Connecticut Forum, this Saturday, May 9, at 8:00 pm at the Bushnell.
But first, we talk about a Connecticut program that helps families learn to develop resilience in the face of overwhelming adversity -- known as “toxic stress” -- that is often associated with poverty, and is particularly hard on kids.
Continue the conversation with CPTV during an advance screening of the PBS documentary “The Raising of America: Early Childhood and the Future of Our Nation” and an accompanying town hall meeting at CPTV’s Hartford studios on 1049 Asylum Avenue.
