The Art of Democracy is showing the video series Journey to American Democracy in the Fountain Street Church Chapel

…After a lot of brainstorming and a lot of help, we have come up with “Journey to American Democracy.”

Journey to American Democracy explores how democracy has always required blood and sweat and inspiration to overcome the efforts of those who would deny equality to their neighbors. It examines how, for more than two centuries, ordinary people have worked to make the principles the founders articulated in the Declaration of Independence the law of the land.

Those principles establish that we have a right to be treated equally before the law, to have a say in our government, and to have equal access to resources…

I hope you enjoy it. …By Heather Cox Richardson
