The Power of Place: Civil Rights Tourism
October 1, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
Hugh Taft-Morales
Leader, Philadelphia Ethical Society
Hugh Taft-Morales loves reading about American history, from first settlements to today. He is particularly interested in the civil rights movement. This past summer, Hugh took his first civil rights tour. Here, he offers some reflections on that profound experience, explaining why it affected him so deeply and how he processed “the power of place” at sites in Alabama and Georgia. Hugh also will discuss the danger of reducing such tours to mere voyeurism and virtue-signaling.
In person at 1906 Rittenhouse Square.
We ask that in-person attendees be up-to-date on vaccinations and remain masked.
