“Lafayette and the Struggle for Human Rights”: A Lecture with Professor Lloyd Kramer, Professor Emeritus of History, UNC–Chapel Hill

Join us during Founders’ Week as Prof. Kramer leads us on an exploration of Lafayette’s ideas about human rights and his support for others who advocated for human rights in both Europe and America. How might Lafayette’s ideas have influenced those who endeavored to found our College, and how can Lafayette’s life and ideas still inform our responses to the ongoing challenges of our own time?
