John Brown Road, Lake Placid
Nine Conversations about Equity and Justice
- Free
All are welcome to participate in one or more conversations about equity and justice
Conversations will take place each Thursday at 3 p.m. in July and August and will last no more than
90 minutes. There will be a break midway and a reconvening.
A thematically-focused site visit will be offered each Thursday at 2 p.m. Tours will begin in the upper
level of the John Brown barn in the exhibit, “Dreaming of Timbuctoo.”
In nine weekly sessions over the course of the summer, local and national experts will co-facilitate
each conversation. Facilitators will include: Ellen Bettmann, Mike Bishop, Kathy Bonavist, Russ
DeFonce, Jen Kretser, Melissa Lambert, Pete Nelson, Martin Tyler, Yunga Webb, Dr. J.W. Wiley,
and Jeri Zempel.
For the conversations, participants are asked to bring lawn chairs and meet in the traffic circle at the
John Brown Farm by 2:45 p.m. each Thursday. Some chairs will be provided.
The 2023 series of facilitated conversations in A Memorial Field is a program of Creatives Rebuild
New York artist Ren Davidson Seward in collaboration with John Brown Lives!
