In the fall of 2023, C-SPAN partnered with the Library of Congress to produce the series, Books That Shaped America. The series explored key works from American history that have had a major impact on society. These books have provoked thought, have been best sellers, have led to significant public policy changes, and are still talked about today. More
The series marked the various eras of American history and featured a diverse mix of stories and authors. They included Thomas Paine's Common Sense, the first autobiography of Frederick Douglass, Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn, Willa Cather's My Ántonia, Free to Choose by Milton and Rose Friedman and The Words of César Chávez. Programs featured studio guests, viewer comments, and visits to key locations around the country related to these famous books and their authors.
