2022 Bill & Barbara Benac Human Dignity And Fairness For All Lecture

Global I.Q. Podcast

Our challenge is to remain good citizens in a politically and socially divided world. The Freedoms Foundation’s David Harmer says, “When we recognize what we share in common and work through our differences with civility, we can preserve and advance freedoms for all.” At the Bill and Barbara Benac Human Dignity and Fairness for All Lecture, Harmer will focus on the twin ideals of freedom and individual responsibility and the effect our political past, social structure, and economic entity have on them and on citizenship today.
