DECEMBER TALK by David Niose "Humanism 2019: The Challenge of Eternal Vigilance"

We'll hold our next lecture event (with snacks at 1) at the Phillips Brooks House again, on the Harvard University campus, Sunday December 9th at 1:30 pm. It is entitled, "Humanism 2019: The Challenge of Eternal Vigilance."

David Niose, legal director of the American Humanist Association's Appignani Humanist Legal Center and former president of both the AHA and the Secular Coalition for America, will discuss some of the major issues facing humanists and organized humanism in the the coming year and beyond.

With the 2018 election now behind us, Niose will discuss such questions as: What Church-State issues will be in the forefront in the coming year? Are there new possibilities for the Humanist movement in the changing American landscape? What about the Christian Right, anti-intellectualism, corporate power, and other obstacles to humanistic policy? Are the dynamics evolving--or not? Niose will discuss the activist issues that are likely to be front-and-center as we make our way through 2019 and head toward yet another election year in 2020.

We'll have time for a lively discussion after the talk.
