Last night, Douglas Brinkley, professor of history at Rice University and CNN commentator, shared with people in San Antonio his outlook for the national park system under the Trump administration, during a lecture at Trinity University.
Brinkley, who authored several books about American political and environmental history, came to Trinity's campus to talk about Theodore Roosevelt and the history of environmental conservation in the United States.
In front of a crowd of over 150 people, most of whom were members of the general public, Brinkley's talk focused on Roosevelt's legacy and his protection of national parks.
