"Let's Talk About Democracy"
Ellis Cose, author, Director/Founder, Renewing American Democracy
Feb 23, 6:30pm | Loma Pelona Center, Room 1108
Ellis Cose is an author, columnist, and former journalist and editor for several major national news outlets, and Director/Founder of Renewing American Democracy. He has written 13 books about race, free speech, civil liberties, and American democracy. His most recent book is Race and Reckoning: From Founding Fathers to Today's Disruptors (2022).
The format for Cose's event includes two parts: an authoritative and engaging presentation that synthesizes the history of American democracy and explores the role of race, class and cultural conflict in the nation's evolution; and an open discussion where participants share their perspectives on the role of young people in shaping American democracy's future.
This event is sponsored by the Walter H. Capps Center for the Study of Ethics, Religion, and Public Life. The Capps Center promotes discussion of how ethical teachings and values relate to civic life, and is committed to the belief that public dialogue and an informed and engaged citizenry are vital to democratic society.
