Lessons from History, Hope for Tomorrow: A Courageous Conversation
February 6 at 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
In divided times, when we seem less willing to hear each other out, civility is a lifeline that holds society together. Let’s drop our assumptions, cut through polarization, and increase empathy and respect for dissent. Let’s learn from personal stories of the Holocaust: those who turned on their neighbors – and those who despite great danger to themselves, did not.
Join veteran Detroit journalists Nolan Finley, Stephen Henderson, and Gary Miles in conversation with Eli Mayerfeld for a courageous and timely conversation on the conditions that erode civility and the suppression of ideas, and how we can strengthen society today, and protect one another’s dignity and our shared future.
This exclusive program is open to Detroit News subscribers and members of The HC only. Thank you to our co-presenters: The Detroit News and The Civility Project
$10 for All Attendees
