In Private Letters, Public Matters, Michael Pearson, the grandson of former Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson, draws on family correspondence to illuminate the personal side of one of Canada's most influential political figures. Through these letters, Pearson offers a window into the relationships, reflections, and private moments that accompanied Lester B. Pearson's very public life in diplomacy and politics.

The conversation will cover the most pressing human rights challenges, the role that Canada can play, and the strategies for defending rights in a world where leaders increasingly disregard international laws.
