8Y6 | America at 250: Where Do We Go from Here?

As the United States approaches a historic milestone, what do we, who have lived almost a quarter of our country’s lifespan, think about its present and its future? In a country divided on how to commemorate its past and worried about what the future holds, what are our hopes looking forward? This conversation will bring together classmates from different regions and walks of life —Anita Ayerbe, Billy Kolber, Letitia Moore, Ayaz Shaikh and Jane Veron —to discuss what America means to us, how we think about its future promise, and practical ways to realize it. Richard Bradley will moderate the discussion.
