Facing History Together: A Community Program with Dr. Desmond Blackburn

A nationally respected educator and civic leader, Dr. Blackburn’s work explores the intersection of history, identity, moral responsibility, and democracy. In this program, open to the broader community, he will examine how societies arrive at moments of division, how individuals are shaped by the choices around them, and what it means to respond to hatred with courage and collective responsibility.

In a time of rising polarization and hate, this conversation invites everyone to reflect, engage in thoughtful dialogue, and consider how shared civic values can help strengthen our community across difference.
