Description

At this week's Round Table, Eliza, Inica, Isaiah, and Madeline reflect on Thanksgiving and, more broadly,  how to grapple with competing narratives about our national holidays. We discuss the ways in which our own understanding of holidays and national identity has shifted through the stages of our lives.  We talked about the importance of understanding history so we can shape a more just and inclusive future. We interrogated whether and how we can #RedefineThankgiving--not by erasing the past, but by thinking critically about the America we want to help build--which feels more necessary than ever this year. This marks the first in a series about national identity and belonging, and we look forward to continuing to explore these themes from various angles with you over the coming weeks. Thank you for joining us!
