SUMMARY:Host Your Own “Feast of Reason” Convo
DESCRIPTION:Whether you’re gathering for Juneteenth or July 4th\, on a picnic or a BBQ\, Thanksgiving isn’t the only time of year you can entertain a debate over a meal. And there’s no better time to get some support for having better conversations that widen the lens on how we understand our past\, present and future. When Thomas Jefferson convened people around the dinner table for debates and discussions\, the United States wasn’t an idea everyone agreed upon – and as an enslaver advocating for independence\, he brought his own contradictions to the table. Nearly 250 years later\, we’re still wrestling with who we’ll become as a nation\, as a society\, as a world – in coffee shops and around the kitchen table. Made By Us founding partner\, Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello\, has you covered with their Feast of Reason conversation card deck that helps you navigate the strong opinions many of us hold about “civic issues” so that breaking bread together can bring us closer. Download the cards and get ready to savor a great discussion!
