Citizen University TV: Civic Saturday
Manage episode 215005833 series 1329584
Citizen University TV hits the road with a special presentation of Civic Saturday, a series of community gatherings designed to instill a spirit of shared purpose - with liberty, equality and self-government at the heart. And when you add singing, poetry, readings and speeches, you get a lively and unique civic experience. Eric Liu explores the question: Who really is a dreamer? Responding to Donald Trump's recent comment that, "Americans are dreamers, too," Liu fires back, "Dreamers are American, too." His civic talk at the Hillman City Collaboratory centers on young undocumented immigrants, who under the DREAM Act would have been able to achieve a pathway to citizenship, and an exploration of the American Dream and what it means for the insiders and outsiders in American life.
