Professor Bruce Schulman Featured on C-SPAN
C-SPAN recently visited Boston University and recorded a lecture by Bruce Schulman about Jimmy Carter and the 1970s.
Description: With gas prices reaching upwards of $4.00 per gallon, Boston University history professor Bruce Schulman teaches a course about another energy crisis nearly forty years ago. Then, during the 1970s, President Jimmy Carter struggled with a substantial petroleum shortage amidst rising demand. Students learn about events leading up to President Carter’s “malaise” speech and the mood of the country at the time.
The program airs Saturday May 14, 8 PM ET, and Sunday May 15, 12AM and 1PM ET, and you can watch the video anytime at C-SPAN.
To coincide with Professor Schulman’s lecture C-SPAN also posted President Jimmy Carter’s “malaise” speech from July, 1979.
