Summary of this lecture (no transcript available)Carr says that everything we know and learn as individuals is surrounded by contexts that connect our knowledge and thinking to other people, to our communities and beyond, and to our nation as a place of progress and renewal. In a democracy, museums and libraries are the cultural instruments best able to approach the complexities, passions, empathies, curiosities, and ambiguities of experience. Cultural institutions are for our common stories, for the communication of evidence and value, for observations of public memory, and for reflection on the questions that remain with us always. Libraries and museums are essential parts of American democratic practice; they are places for public critical thinking, and for the reflection that brings people together in progressive reciprocity.
Hosts: Irma Minerva, Benjamin Filene (UNCG - Director of Public History), and Dr David Carr
