OLLI of Greater Birmingham presents Current Politics with an Historical Perspective with instructor James Day, PhD, Professor of History, University of Montevallo.  As we approach the end of President Donald Trump’s first year in office, we will take a look back at the previous nine months to examine threads of continuity and elements of change that characterize his administration thus far.  In addition, we will attempt to gain some historical perspective, taking the long-term view of presidential politics and the impact on the Office of the Chief Exectutive.
