Join the Idea of America Network for an interactive, onsite seminar at Colonial Williamsburg. The Idea of America framework views U.S. history as an enduring "Great Debate." At this seminar, we'll dive deeply into Our Values, Our Legacy, and Our Future, as explored in a book written by John Oliver Wilson.
How do we balance the values Americans share: law and ethics, freedom and equality, unity and diversity, common wealth, and private wealth? The Idea of America Seminar explores how these values have shaped our American identity and how you can apply them to the fundamental issues facing our nation today.
