Watergate | Talk & Draw with Liza Donnelly & Heather Cox Richardson
Heather Cox Richardson and Liza Donnelly from Letters from an American
Tomorrow is the anniversary of the 1972 Watergate break in. I usually memorialize the burglary that started the extraordinary chain of events that led to the resignation of the president with a letter, but as Liza and I chatted about what might be a fun thing to render in art this month, Watergate jumped out. As we talked, we discovered that we both cut our political teeth on that scandal. It’s been a long time since the details of the event and its aftermath were fresh, and I wanted to remind people of the chain of events. And Liza’s drawing—and the new theme it called out— does indeed give this old topic a whole new life that is ever so relevant today.  Notes: You can find Liza at her substack: Seeing Things.
