2020: A New Birth of Freedom

The American experiment in democracy is an idea. For nearly 250 years, it has been enacted in some ways that are inspiring and amazing, and it has been enacted in some ways that are oppressive, violent, and devastating. But still, the ideals call to us. Today, the democracy we thought we knew is at fundamental risk. How we as Americans act in the 2020 election will determine both (a) the future of our nation and world, and (b) how each of us, personally, will answer to all who come after us. This lecture series examines and walks in real-time through the 2020 presidential election. There are 3 "Acts" in this lecture series, ALL ON TUESDAYS:
