Engaging others with empathy, respect, and understanding is essential at a time when both national headlines and personal conversations have become louder, harsher, and more polarized. Panel discussion moderated by Linda Lorelle. Panelists include Jay Sexton, director of the Kinder Institute, and students working to foster civil discourse on college campuses, leading with vulnerability, openness, and the belief that dialogue — even if difficult — still makes a difference.
Third installment of Civil Dialogues series, co-sponsored by Kinder Institute for Constitutional Democracy

NOTE: you can watch the program live or later on the library's YouTube channel: [YouTube.com/kclibrary](https://www.youtube.com/KCLIBRARY)

Meet at the back of the room after the program - I will have a small sign that says "Meetup Group." We can walk over to a restaurant for a light bite after the program (Milwaukee Deli is one block away or there are other nearby options as well).
