The LWV Greenwich and Greenwich Academy invite you to join us for our 7th Community Case Discussion:
A NATION DIVIDED: THE CHALLENGE OF SECESSION
Monday, November 14th | 7pm to 8:30pm
Greenwich Academy, Young Auditorium, Lower School
If you could strengthen our democracy by discussing a pivotal episode in our shared history, would you participate? If you could experience one of the most divisive eras in our nations’s past as it took place, what choices would you make?
We are delighted to bring back one of our most popular programs in person this year! Join high school teachers Nathan Kress (Greenwich Academy) and Charles Sliter (Rye Country Day School) as they make history come alive with an audience-driven discussion on how our republic—and democracy as we know it—approached the challenge of secession.
By stepping into the shoes of our predecessors—and facing the decisions they faced—you'll see both the past and the present in a whole new light.
Bring your ideas and leave your preconceptions at the door. It will be an evening that challenges the way you think about America's civic life—and your place in it.

All participants - adults and students - will be expected to read and prepare the Harvard Business School case on secession and come ready to discuss and debate it. The case, along with questions to guide your reading, will be sent to you when you register.
Space is limited so please sign up early. The deadline to register is November 7th.
