You're Invited: Freed Speech

As we work toward becoming "more than a collection of red states and blue states" and being the United States of America, "Freed Speech: Dialogues on Civil Discourse" promises an evening of lively civility. Featuring CNN's Soledad O'Brien alongside local political and cultural leaders, the event aims to change the tenor and tone of current discourse and broaden critical thinking around a number of topics. While the event is free and open to the public, registration is required.
