Research Fellow Jonathan Bean and contributors from the updated edition of Race & Liberty in America: The Essential Reader ([link removed]) are gathering for a rigorous and thought-provoking conversation.

They will tackle controversial topics such as immigration, “systemic” racism, and the politics of intermarriage. They’ll also explore how classical liberal values—championed by figures like Frederick Douglass, Zora Neale Hurston, and Louis Marshall—have long provided a blueprint for a thriving multi-ethnic society.

Key questions include:
* How can classical liberal values move America beyond race-based policies while still honoring individual heritage and identity?
* Have race classifications, identity politics, and reparations proposals fostered unity or division in modern America?
* What role should government play in race, liberty, and immigration—and where should classical liberals draw the line?

Join us ([link removed]) for this essential conversation.
