Register for "America in the 1970s"

September 24, 2024, 8:30 AM CT - 2:30 PM CT | Hosted by: Region 11 ESC | White Settlement, TX | Discussion Leader: Daniel Williams

The "Me Decade" of the 1970s was more than disco, bell bottoms, and Star Wars. It was also the decade of the Watergate scandal, the end of the Vietnam War, the resignation of a president, an energy crisis, second-wave feminism, Roe, v. Wade, and the rise of a new conservative movement. This seminar will focus on the political crises, foreign policy debates, and cultural conflicts of the decade, with special emphasis on the Nixon and Carter presidencies, debates over detente and the Vietnam War, including cultural polarization over the feminist movement.

In order to be a part of the conversation, registrants are highly encouraged to read all the documents in advance and come ready with questions.

"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.
