SUMMARY:Watchwords of Freedom (virtual program)
DESCRIPTION:Watchwords of Freedom:\nDocuments That Shaped Liberty and Human Rights\nWhat does freedom mean\, and how have generations of Americans and global citizens sought to define and protect it? Watchwords of Freedom explores a remarkable series of documents that expanded the ideals of liberty\, equality\, religious tolerance\, civil rights\, and human dignity across nearly four centuries. \nTo celebrate the 250th Birthday of our country\,  we will begin with the Flushing Remonstrance of 1657—a bold defense of religious freedom in colonial New York—the program traces the evolution of democratic principles through the New York Charter of Liberties\, the Declaration of Independence\, and the Bill of Rights. The discussion then moves into the twentieth century with President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s visionary Four Freedoms\, which helped redefine freedom as a universal human aspiration\, and concludes with the creation of the United Nations Charter\, an international commitment to peace\, cooperation\, and human rights in the aftermath of World War II. \nFree Event\nTo RSVP\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/1992206676799?aff=oddtdtcreator
