UCSB Arts & Lectures presents David Gergen: Hearts Touched with Fire: How Great Leaders are Made on Tuesday, October 11th at 7:30 pm at The Granada Theatre.

Gergen traces the journeys of iconic leaders past and present, including pathbreakers like Ruth Bader Ginsburg, John Lewis, John McCain and Harvey Milk; historic icons like Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Winston Churchill and Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt; and contemporary game changers like Greta Thunberg, the Parkland students and the Black Lives Matter movement.
