OLLI Dialog on Freedom & Diversity with Dilip Das
An OLLI "Special Event"
Freedom is a core value, a proud symbol of what it means to be American. The meaning of freedom has evolved over the 243 years since our country’s founding. For many, freedoms were denied or constrained by laws, policies, and dominant culture. Today, in 2019, more individuals and groups feel a sense of freedom than ever before, but many, still, are marginalized. We will talk, as an OLLI group, about freedom and how an understanding of diversity and inclusion is deeply embedded into the meaning of freedom.
