Timbuctoo and the Dream of Citizenship

  • Thoreau Society, Masonic Lodge 58 Monument Square Concord, MA, 01742 United States (map)

This presentation will ask some fundamental questions about land use, self-reliance, and the political process from an African American point of view. The great Adirondack experiment of Timbuctoo failed and was forgotten in the violence and aftermath of the Civil War, but the dream it represented lives on in the soul of the nation. In what ways do we still stand at the edge of a wilderness, dreaming the dream of America? Presented by Mr. Stephen Seals, Senior Manager of African American Interpretation at Colonial Williamsburg. Please visit the Thoreau Society website (postponed).
