Join us at the table and explore America's story in the words of those who lived it.

Register for "The Civil Rights of 1964"

February, 12 2024, 8:30 AM CT - 2:30 PM CT | Hosted by: Oakridge School, Flavin Performing Arts Center | Arlington, TX | Discussion Leader: Professor Brent Aucoin - Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary

The Civil Rights Movement in America has endured a difficult and tumultuous road. The Emancipation Proclamation ended the institution of slavery and the Fourteenth Amendment should have guaranteed freedoms, equality and civil rights for all men, however it would take many generations of hardships and court cases for that reality to be achieved. Join us at the table for this compelling conversation. 

This program will be conducted as a conversation among peers, utilizing primary source documents as the only readings, and with Professor Aucoin facilitating the conversation, instead of lecturing or presenting. Registrants are highly encouraged to read the documents and come with questions. All attendees will be provided lunch and a Letter of Attendance.

"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.
