Ann Su
IT'S A FREE COUNTRY
Exploring the Limitations and
Responsibilities of Freedom
 
Thursday
​January 23, 2020
6:30 p.m.
 
Ever heard the expression "America: land of the brave and free" or "It's a free country! I can do what I want"? Maybe you think or say these things yourself. But what does it mean to "be free"?

Join Ann Su for a conversation that explores the impact of culture on how we define, value, and experience freedom personally and in community.

Participants will discuss different questions: Does everyone have access to freedom in the same way? What choices
come with freedom and what are the responsibilities that accompany those choices? How does the concept of
"freedom" play out in a diverse, democratic society?
