The Ferndale Library will be hosting a virtual (ZOOM) discussion of the PBS documentary American Creed on Saturday, October 3, moderated by history professor and humanities scholar Gregory Sumner, Ph.D., of U-D Mercy. Please watch the 1-hour film before attending: https://www.pbs.org/video/american-creed-ikwuqf/ <https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pbs.org%2Fvideo%2Famerican-creed-ikwuqf%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR2Fh7W05kd5RGaoemGAgMhMtGJ-FCeMOWXPb5h8-hxHkEhJ8VJvuqDXl68&h=AT0pASUjkaUMn3ySazWkMB2ATpE7zh1Mjwuf3gxUR0DmMKiAK-dMdLIr7LyDhsIj7JMjMo_M1j16eiob15dZ2-wwhJMNA-mlkeMoGNH2sDhuKiUGwwk7r2YsYff5_LQayg> The film explores questions like: Who are we? Is there a useful “Unum” to be salvaged from our increasingly fractious “Pluribus?" Where are we headed as individual citizens and as a people? Sumner will talk about ways in which we can constructively explore America’s ideals and identity. In American Creed, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David M. Kennedy come together from different points of view for a spirited investigation of the idea of a unifying American creed. Their inquiry frames stories of citizen-activists seeking to realize their own visions of America’s promise across divides.
