The Circle Squared: "Go Down, Moses"

  • Historic Area Williamsburg Merchant Square Williamsburg, Virginia United States (map)

In this second meeting of our new Circle Squared Conversations in the Town Square in Williamsburg, at the foot of the oldest academic building in the United States, we continue our nine-month, coast-to-coast contemplative journey across America in place and time. This month’s reading is William Falkner’s story-cycle of unresolved sin and kinship that bind master, slave, and descendants together in one web of guilt, suffering, and longing, composed in the key of the old spiritual “Go Down, Moses.”
