Ben riffs. Elizabeth Todd-Breland talks about<em> I Didn't Come Here to Lie</em>, the new book she co-wrote with the late, great Karen Lewis, former president of the Chicago Teachers Union.

Elizabeth is a history professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago.</p>","html":"<iframe src=\"https://art19.com/shows/the-ben-joravsky-show/episodes/06b14f98-3590-4cd6-8a23-4a03cdb5d4b5/embed\" style=\"width: 720px; height: 200px; border: 0 none;\" width=\"720\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"></iframe>","provider_name":"ART19","provider_url":"https://art19.com","title":"Elizabeth Todd-Breland--Karen Lewis Didn’t Come Here To Lie","type":"rich","version":"1.0","width":720,"height":200}
