One Nation Under God...Divisible? Putting the We back in "We the People"

This event will be hosted by Camden County College.

We see it in headlines and on social media posts. What does “divided America” mean? How do we have important conversations – conversations about topics that affect us all – when political polarization, racial and economic inequality, and cultural differences impact those opportunities to listen and learn from each other? You’re invited to “One Nation Under God…Divisible?” to learn more about how we can look to history to learn more about our present and plan for our future while working towards a goal of reaching common ground.

Attendees are also invited to return to “In the Weeds,” a sequel ZOOM event planned for the following week, designed to provide space to dialogue about the real-life application of the “big picture” concepts explored in One Nation Under God…Divisible?

About DCP

Launched in January 2021, the Democracy Conversation Project (DCP) is an initiative designed to provide opportunities for community discussions about topics like the democratic process, the electoral college, voter suppression, civic engagement, and other areas related to democracy. Administered by the Federation of State Humanities Councils and funded by Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the reach and impact of the DCP will be furthered by collaboration. Eight colleges across the state will convene these public discussions. Faculty and community members will come together to offer this conversation series in March and April.
