Jefferson, the Declaration, and American Freedom
Linden Place's historic ballroom will be the venue for a talk by Fred Zilian, Ph.D , on the extraordinary mind and life of Thomas Jefferson, up until 1776. He will discuss how Jefferson came to write our country’s founding document, the Declaration of Independence, including the major influences on him and why he was selected to write its first draft.
The talk will end by examining the concept of American freedom: what it meant to the ancient Greeks — a well-spring of Western Civilization, what it meant to Americans 250 years ago, and its various meanings today.
The event is Thursday, April 16, at 7 p.m. General admission tickets are $20.80. Click here for more information.
