Discussions about America's past and how we remember (or forget) it have spurred some of the most charged debates both inside and outside of the United States. Our understanding of our personal, family, and national pasts directly impacts how we act in the present and how we comprehend ourselves and others. Join us for a discussion of how we imagine the past and the importance of memory in building a healthy community.
