Benjamin Franklin: The Quintessential American
Monday, January 24th at 5 PM
Benjamin Franklin, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, was born on 17 January 1706 in Boston. A writer, printer, activist, philanthropist, entrepreneur, politician, diplomat and world-class scientist, Franklin was also, as David Brooks, a writer for the New York Times, recently put it, "the original spokesman of [American] middle-class values".
Come for a discussion in English with Pamela Creed of the American middle-class values originally embodied in the life and work of Benjamin Franklin that still shape the American mind and character today.
