Jordan House Salon: Bold Voices Make Waves

"If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear." George Orwell
Progress demands friction. Abolitionists, the Underground Railroad, and suffragettes all shattered the comfort of their eras to force vital social change. Is protecting offensive speech essential for a free society to evolve? What unpopular opinions do you hold, and should anyone have the power to cancel you for voicing them?
We’ll explore this topic at the Jordan House Salon. Salons are historically private gatherings in a home, often hosted by a woman, who brought together writers, artists, and philosophers to discuss literature, science, and politics away from strict censorship. Come prepared to share a glass of wine and your thoughts in this unique gathering.
