Robert D. Johnston Quoted in MPR News Article About Progressivism
Robert D. Johnston, professor in the Department of History at UIC and the Director of the Teaching of History Program, was quoted in a MPR News article entitled “Then and Now: What Does it Mean to be a Progressive?” The article discusses the current battle between Democratic candidates Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton over the right to define the term “progressive,” which does not necessarily have a clear definition.
