Documentary Film: American Creed w/ Discussion

American Creed NR (2018) 82 mins

In the documentary film, recognizing their social and political differences, Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David M. Kennedy come together to explore the idea of a unifying American creed.  Along with a range of citizen-activists, they each delve into their own family and community histories to explore urgent questions that are central to America’s success as a democracy, including how to provide access to educational and economic advancement; how to unify culturally diverse populations; and most important, how to define America’s national ideals.

This event includes a post-film discussion led by members of the library's Great Decisions group.

Free and open to all

American Creed and Community Conversations are made possible by an American Library Association programming grant, in partnership with Citizen Film, PBS, National Endowment for the Humanities, and the National Writing Project.
