Conversations on the American Social Contract, Berkshire Museum/Mass Humanities, Oct. 23

What do we owe each other? How can we deliver on the promise of equality that animates our democracy?

Mass Humanities celebrates its fortieth anniversary with a film-and-discussion program that takes on urgent questions about the American social contract today.

Join moderator Liz Duclos-Orsello and our partners for one of our 2-hour conversations followed by a reception. We will show clips selected from among the NEH’s Created Equal films (The Loving Story, Slavery by Another Name, Freedom Riders) as well as from The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers, a film funded by Mass Humanities.

Held in four locations across Massachusetts, register below for the one closest to you.
