House historian, Lady Joan Reid, delivers a talk on the American Enlightenment from Benjamin Franklin to Martin Luther King.
In 1787, fifty-five men constructed the United States out of Enlightenment ideas propounded by Benjamin Franklin and others like Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, John Locke and Adam Smith. Following in their footsteps, individuals such as Abraham Lincoln, Susan B. Anthony, and Martin Luther King have refined these ideas without abandoning them. Scott Varland, American lawyer and author, will explore the trajectory of American democratic thought.
