Vanguard by martha s jones6/23/2023 “Historians do not carry a crystal ball, no special means of anticipating that future.” “Now, for a long time, this was a question I very deliberately sidestepped, one I politely declined,” Jones said at CMC’s Athenaeum on April 18. Yet she is often asked to draw on the past to anticipate the future, with such questions as: “What are the lessons from the past that might aid us today as we face the latest chapter in the American struggle over and about democracy?” Jones feels her principal task is to explain how our democracy has changed over time.
