Uplift, Agency, and America's Promissory Note: A Conversation about 1776 Unites | LIVE EVENT

Featuring:

Judge Janice Brown, University of California, Berkeley
Glenn Loury, Brown University
Wilfred Reilly, Kentucky State University

In an age marked by racial division and political polarization, what visions and ideals can Americans share? When our national history is for many a source of shame rather than pride, how can Americans find a way forward to prosper and thrive—together? And when many thinkers and activists emphasize historical grievance and victimization, who can offer a more positive perspective without ignoring the injustices of the past?

In this discussion, sponsored by AEI’s Academic Programs, a group of heterodox thinkers discuss 1776 Unites, a non-partisan and intellectually diverse alliance of thinkers, writers, and activists offering important answers to these questions by tackling some of America’s biggest educational, cultural, and economic challenges.

The AEI Academic Programs team connects top college students across the country with the ideas, research, and network of AEI.
