For the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, join New Yorkers for a roundtable discussion of the Declaration. What did it mean in 1776? What does it mean today? Robert Snyder, Professor Emeritus of American Studies and Journalism at Rutgers University and former Manhattan Borough Historian, will lead our conversation.

Dorothy Day, champion of the oppressed, witness for peace, was born in Brooklyn and spent most of her life in New York’s Lower East Side. In the 1920s, while working as a journalist for progressive papers, she became close to Eugene O'Neill and others in the Greenwich Village scene. After her conversion to Catholicism, she founded the Catholic Worker newspaper and the first of her “houses of hospitality” combining service to the poor and work for justice.
Robert Ellsberg, a former managing editor of the CW and editor of Day’s writings, will describe her New York journey and her road to possible sainthood.

Join Lindsay Barnes and Katie Finn and friends for another great night of comedy featuring some of the best popular and up-and-coming comic talents in the New York area.
