December 29    “The Sun Never Set: American Territories in an Age of Decolonization”

While the famed British Empire has largely been relegated to story and song, along with its European counterparts, the United States controls five inhabited overseas territories, whose populations do not enjoy  the full rights of the Constitution. The United Nations has cited three of these as “non-self-governing” and an impediment to world cooperation.  What would be the proper status of  Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands,  Guam, Samoa, and the Northern Marianas? Prof. Garna Christian will lead the discussion.

Adult Discussion Group will be meeting in person @ 9:45 AM in Thoreau’s Clark Cabin except on the third Sunday of each month when we will meet in the Sanctuary @ 11 AM.

The AC and HEPA filter will be running to keep Clark Cabin & the Sanctuary as safe as possible.

For those that prefer: We will provide ZOOM via the OWL system when we meet in the cabin & our Moderator Tamara will recognize your hand up and add you to the queue.

Thoreauvians and friends will be notified each week (tuucannounce@groups.io) of our ADG topic, time and zoom login.
Please keep an eye out for our notices.
