Join H. Lee Cheek and Donald Livingston for a discussion on John C. Calhoun.
The woke left has removed Calhoun's statue from Charleston while the social justice right considers him the arch-enemy of America. Is that true? Can every calamity in American history be placed at Calhoun's feet? More importantly, who was the real Calhoun and what did he really mean in his "positive good" speech?
Panelists:
H. Lee Cheek is the author of Calhoun and Popular Rule: The Political Theory of the Disquisition and Discourse and has edited two volumes on Calhoun's speeches and public documents.
Donald Livingston is the founder of the Abbeville Institute.
Schedule:
The event begins promptly at 7 PM Eastern on March 30, 2021.
