The film American Creed will be screened. Dr. Edwin Ubeda, SAU Education Professor, will facilitate a discussion following the screening.
Co-produced by Citizen Film & WTTW - Chicago Public Media, American Creed is a PBS documentary constructed around a seminar-style conversation co-led by the renowned historian David M. Kennedy, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author of best-selling books about American history and his Stanford University colleague, the political scientist and former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
Their dialogue throughout the film interprets different kinds of American civic activism and models the exemplary, respectful dialogue that American Creed: Community Conversations seeks to support in public libraries around the country.
