How Charlottesville Changed America
The 2017 White Supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia triggered a national debate about the limits of free speech. Less noticed at the time it also sparked a campus conflict over the relationship between antisemitism and racism that anticipated our contemporary political crisis. In this lecture historian James Loeffler will revisit the story of Charlottesville to explain the current state of American liberalism and its prospects for the future.
This event is part of the Forum for Fairness in Discourse, a program of the Bud Shorstein Center for Jewish Studies at the University of Florida.
The Forum for Fairness in Discourse is a lecture series that invites thought leaders and scholars to highlight how Jewish thought intersects with issues such as justice, identity, ethics, and community. Funded by a generous donation by Audrey Adams and Jon D. Morris, this series creates space for ideas that both honor the past and shape a more thoughtful, inclusive future.
