Study in-depth the origins of the Korean War and its place within the greater context of the Cold War, with an emphasis on its causes, the armistice, and the politics between the two Koreas since. This program will take place over two Tuesdays, with each session lasting 90 minutes. A single documents reader will be provided to all registrants in both PDF and print form and can be found here. All registrants will be provided with WebEx login credentials in advance of each program session day.

  • “The Origins and Causes of the War” September 15, 2020, 4:20 PM (PT) - 6:00 PM (PT)
  • “The Road to the Armistice and the Aftermath” September 22, 2020, 4:20 PM (PT) - 6:00 PM (PT)

"It gave me a better understanding of the Founders’ views. They saw that restricting religious liberty is not only wrong; it leads to animosity within society. This year, I will begin both my government class and my class on “Law and Modern Society” with George Washington’s Letter to the Hebrew Congregation at Newport." — Sean B.
