“The first time I visited the library after that
renovation, I remember I felt that all the glass cases were gone, and I felt I was transported into Herb and Lou's life. ... That was
terrific for 1992, but I think what I've just shown you is perfect
for 2022, 2023 and beyond, as we hope it creates a new feeling of
wonderment and inspiration so the world can learn about these great
Americans.”

In March of 2017, Lance Geiger, from the basement of his house in O'Fallon, Illinois, created a new business, a YouTube show that is now regularly seen by hundreds of thousands of people. Since that day in 2017, Geiger has been known as "The History Guy." He has produced hundreds of short documentaries on history. In his home studio, "The History Guy" is surrounded by artifacts, including military hats and ship models, and he's always dressed in his trademark dark suit, dark-rimmed glasses and bow tie. Lance Geiger joined Booknotes+ to talk about the genesis of the "The History Guy" program, the work involved in putting out three episodes a week and the success the show has attained.
Also: The
Weekly remembers the friendship and mutual admiration between Republican Johnny Isakson and Democrat John Lewis, both Georgians, through 20 years of public praise — and equally public hugs — in the House of Representatives.
