This Thursday evening we filled the theater at Amerikahaus and had a sizeable online audience, which speaks to the deep desire that so many of us are feeling to do something, to support and defend democracy, and to hear from experts who can help us understand the turbulence around us.
We were honored to have the governments of Canada, Ukraine and Switzerland represented in the audience, and to have such a thoughtful conversation with Michael Ignatieff. "We need much more than moral anger, or moral distaste. We desperately need to understand the path that brought us to this moment." A video of the conversation is available online.
If you prefer reading, here is a link to a post that Prof. Ignatieff wrote today fleshing out the ideas he presented on Thursday. A very worthwhile read and share.
