As we celebrate the sesquicentennial of our nation, this class will explore the words that framed our founding through Daniele Allen’s book, Our Declaration: A Reading of The Declaration of Independence in Defense of Equality. According to author Cornell West, “This wise and rich book is what we need in these troubled times . . .”
We will meet Monday-Friday mornings, 9:00-11:45 am and Monday-Wednesday evenings 7:00-8:30 pm. Engaged conversation will be the goal of each class gathering. Participants are asked to read the book prior to the class. Jeff will contact students prior to the class.
