The Aspen Institute

Based on the Aspen Institute’s “What Every American Should Know” initiative, the goal of this event is to explore local perspectives of how this country can cultivate a sense of shared destiny and common civic purpose in an age of increasing diversity and widening inequality. We are asking: what do you think every American should know to be civically and culturally literate?
