Which events in our history have been among the most significant and culture-shaking?
 
The question usually conjures up grandiose images of Columbus’s first landing, the Constitutional Convention, the Civil Rights’ Movement, or 9/11. However, some of the answers may not be nearly so obvious as you think. Larry Schweikart, a renowned author, historian and one of Glen Beck's favorite authors, outlines the implications of seemingly insignificant events and their lasting implications on our nation in his new book, 7 Events that Made America America. 
 
For example, how did Martin Van Buren’s decisions make the election of Barack Obama possible today? How did Dwight Eisenhower’s heart attack create a government movement for control over American diets? And how did rock and roll ultimately help to bring about the decline of communism and the Soviet Union? 
 
Schweikart discusses all of these and more; history may be much more than you ever learned in school!
 
Larry Schweikart is scheduled to speak at the 2010 Collegians Leadership Summit on July 14th and 15th in Washington D.C.
