1619 Project
Saturday, February 27, 3:00-4:30 p.m.
UUCF’s Dismantling Racism Team invites you to The Fight For A True Democracy, the first in a podcast series from the New York times based on the paper’s landmark 1619 Project. The program consists of audio and a slide show created to accompany the podcast. Discussion will follow the 45-minute program.
Our founding ideals of liberty and equality were false when they were written. Black Americans fought to make them true. Without this struggle, America would have no democracy at all.
