Crossroads: A Conversation with America

Monday, Sept. 23 at 8 p.m.

PBS News will air the primetime special, “Crossroads: A Conversation with America,” on Monday, September 23 at 6:00 p.m. on Arizona PBS and stream on PBS News’ social platforms. The one-hour special, produced in partnership with Milwaukee PBS, will be hosted by PBS News Hour senior correspondent Judy Woodruff in a town-hall-style setting as part of her ongoing series “America at a Crossroads.”

Woodruff will moderate a panel with Katherine Cramer, a leading political scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, longtime political commentator Charlie Sykes and Theodore Johnson, a “Washington Post” opinion contributor. The audience will be comprised of Wisconsin residents from around the Milwaukee area and across the political spectrum.

Filmed in the critical battleground state of Wisconsin on Monday, September 16, the town hall will explore some of the issues at the heart of our divisions, the values that bind us together, regardless of party or politics, and ideas for restoring a measure of civility to the public square.

For the last two years, Woodruff and the “Crossroads” team have traveled the country talking to political scientists, pollsters, historians, elected officials and voters about America’s political divisions and how we might bridge them.
