About the event

2025 McMurtry Lecture Featuring Steve Inskeep
***THE IN-PERSON LECTURE IS SOLD OUT, ALTERNATE VIEWING OPTIONS AVAILABLE ***

Join us for our 2025 McMurtry Lecture featuring Steve Inskeep where he will discuss his book "Differ We Must: How Lincoln Succeeded in a Divided America".

📅 October 9, 2025 | 7 p.m.
📍 Main Library Theater (900 Library Plaza)


"Differ We Must" shows Lincoln’s life through sixteen encounters, some well-known, some obscure, but all with new significance. As the host of NPR’s Morning Edition for almost two decades, Steve Inskeep has mastered the art of building bridges with constructive debate in interviews; here, he shows his skills in a fresh and compelling narrative of Lincoln’s life. Rich detail and enlightening commentary expand our understanding of a politician who held to his moral compass while navigating between divisive politics, and ultimately succeeded in uniting a nation.


Alternate Viewing Options for Non-Ticket Holders:

✨ Theater Standby Option

A Standby line will form beginning at 6:30pm. Guests who do not have tickets can choose to wait in the Standby Line. At 6:50, those in Standby will be released, in the order they are lined up, to the Theater to fill remaining seats. There is no guarantee that a Theater seat will be available for guests in Standby.


✨ Overflow Seating Option

An Overflow Room is available in Meeting Rooms A/B/C for guests who do not have tickets. This is provided on a first-come/first-served basis and doors will open at 6:30 p.m. The Overflow Room will feature a live feed of the event.
