THE DREAM: A People’s Salon
When
Sep 25, 2024
6:00pm–9:00pm
Cost
Free,
The next experience in Illinois Humanities' latest public conversation series, A People’s Salon, centers on the American Dream and will accompany a chef-forward menu from the culinary studio TXA TXA Club.
2026 will mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, a document built from a dream for a new nation that was to exemplify liberty and justice for all. Since then, we've been striving (and often failing) to live up to this promise, but no amount of inequity and inner turmoil can stop determined people from pursuing a better life for themselves and their communities.
Join us as we consider, question, and reimagine the American Dream today.
