Mark Charles: Creating A Common Memory – SOLD OUT

“Where common memory is lacking, where people do not share in the same past, there can be no real community. Where community is to be formed, common memory must be created.”  – Georges Erasmus, an aboriginal leader from Canada

How did we get here as a nation? What if we need to go back to the beginning? Are we remembering rightly? The United States Constitution begins with the inclusive sounding words “We the People”, but it can be argued that it has never fully meant “All the People”. In this talk, Mark Charles unmasks and dismantles the Doctrine of Discovery that greatly influenced the founding of our nation and its founding documents. He then gives vision to how these unjust systems can be addressed. Join us for an evening working towards a deeper understanding of our need for a common memory of our history.
