This event is being held at The Valentine in Richmond, VA
In celebration of Religious Freedom Day, join James Madison’s Montpelier and The Valentine for the first lecture in this season of Life, Liberty & Happiness with Dr. Edward L. Ayers as he explores themes of freedom of conscience and faith in his newest book, American Visions: The United States, 1800-1860. In American Visions, Dr. Ayers examines bold visionaries who built vigorous traditions of dissent and innovation into the foundation of the nation. Join us on this important day as we consider how bold individuals in the 19th century shaped our understanding of faith, consciousness and freedom today.
