The Jefferson lecture is probably the most prestigious lecture in the Humanities, and the question of reparations for slavery is probably the most contentious issue being debated in our contention-filled republic.
Andy Delbanco, the Alexander Hamilton Professor of America Studies at Columbia University and President of the Teagle Foundation, will address that issue in his Jefferson lecture on October 19th. If you are in DC you can attend; elsewhere, go on line. Here’s how:
