Co-presented with the Prince George's County Office of Human Rights LIVE ONLY

This spring, grab your favorite lunch at noon and tune in to virtual conversations with the Prince George’s County Office of Human Rights and the Prince George’s County Memorial Library System on topics from repairing the effects of racial injustice to fighting for equitable access to recovering from exile and loss. Let’s learn together!

Available live only! Tune in to YouTube on March 4th at 12 noon ET 

Lunch and Learn continues with special guest Dr. Kurt Gray in conversation about his new book, Outraged: Why We Fight About Morality and Politics and How to Find Common Ground. Timely and critically important, "Outraged" is a groundbreaking new perspective on the moral mind that rewrites our understanding of where moral judgments come from, and how we can overcome the feelings of outrage that so often divide us. It’s easy to assume that liberals and conservatives have radically different moral foundations. In "Outraged," Kurt Gray showcases the latest science to demonstrate that we all have the same moral mind—that everyone’s moral judgments stem from feeling threatened or vulnerable to harm,” Penguin Random House writes.

This incredible program will not be available on demand so set a reminder – clear your lunch break – to join us on March 4th from 12 – 1 pm ET
