Envisioning the Future

April 21 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

On the eve of the passage of Great Society civil rights legislation in the mid 1960s, Martin Luther King addressed a vast audience of marchers from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. In his speech he referred to “the promissory note” owed to all Americans, guaranteeing that all would share the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Now, 60 years later, we ask if that debt has been paid.  What constitutes a just society and how can we achieve that dream?    Knowing that history and where we are now, our young panel of forward thinkers looks out six more decades to envision a better future.  What should a New Deal for a Greater Society look like?

Presenters:

Nate Gifford (To Be Confirmed), Demographer

Jonah Wheeler , NH State Representative, Peterborough

Grace Kindeke Program Coordinator at American Friends Service Committee, Project Coordinator at Manchester Community Action Coalition

Moderator :

Hon. Linda Gaithright, NH State Representative, Hillsborough, NH
