Join us for a fireside chat exploring how America’s founding ideals of liberty and dissent have shaped our justice system from the 1800s to the present day.
Featuring guest speaker Matthew Pinsker, D.Phil (Professor of History, Dickinson College), this discussion will center on a 1847 fugitive slave case with direct ties to Eastern State Penitentiary, uncovering a historic conspiracy to resist injustice through new research from prison records. We will connect these historical roots to contemporary movements, highlighting how everyday acts of dissent continue to demand representation and human dignity.
