Campaigns That Shaped America
<p data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">In this episode of <strong>Politics is Everything</strong>, host <strong>Michael Pope</strong> sits down with <strong>Larry J. Sabato, Ken Stroupe, and Glenn Crossman</strong> for a behind-the-scenes conversation about "<strong>Campaigns That Shaped America"</strong> the major new multimedia exhibition opening at the all-new Center for Politics at the University of Virginia. Spanning presidential politics from George Washington to the present, the exhibition explores how campaigns have shaped not only elections, but also leadership, citizenship, public debate, media, and the nation itself.</p> <p>The conversation highlights some of the exhibition's most compelling artifacts and themes, from early campaign buttons, broadsides, and cartoons to sound recordings, television ads, and modern campaign media. Along the way, the group reflects on why campaigns matter, how political persuasion has evolved, and what these objects reveal about the long, messy, inventive, and deeply human story of how Campaigns shape American democracy. The exhibition is open to the public weekdays from 11am to 3pm at the UVA Center for Politics. </p>
