Today in the United States as well as in Europe, we spend the present defending what is at risk, and the future appears chiefly as a threat. Yet the very idea of freedom, once central in democratic societies, depends upon a vision of the future. In this lecture Professor Snyder will address the deep threats to freedom, and the possibilities for a future with greater freedom.
Timothy Snyder, Levin Professor of History at Yale and a Permanent Fellow at the Institute for Human Sciences, Vienna, will explore and explain his latest research about current risks and perils in democratic societies, and possible solutions.

CAN WE TALK? HOW CAN YOU HATE ME WHEN YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW ME?
Daryl Davis is a musician, actor, author, and lecturer. He earned his BA in Music from Howard University and is an accomplished Blues, Rock’n’Roll, Country, and Jazz musician, touring regularly with his Daryl Davis Band. He has worked extensively with Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley’s Jordanaires, The Legendary Blues Band, and Percy Sledge, among others.
After a performance, 35 years ago, a man told Daryl Davis he had never seen an African-American man play piano like Jerry Lee Lewis. The man was a member of the Ku Klux Klan and he became a regular fan of Daryl’s. This led to Davis becoming the first African-American author to travel the country interviewing KKK leaders and members, all detailed in his book, Klan-Destine Relationships. This tour made him one of the unique race relations experts and activists today. He eventually became the recipient of robes and hoods from Klan members who came to rescind their beliefs after coming to know him.
Davis has appeared in the critically acclaimed TV show The Wire, as well as in many plays and movie roles. He is the subject of the recent documentary Accidental Courtesy, which followed him around the U.S. documenting his meetings with KKK members, neo-Nazis, the Alt-Right movement, and other white supremacists.

Lecture & Book Presentation
The Written World
The Power of Stories to Shape People, History, Civilization
Prof. Snyder will discuss his latest book, The Road to Unfreedom, Russia-Europe-America, a stunning chronicle on the rise of authoritarianism from Russia to Europe and America and a forceful and unsparing work of contemporary history. By revealing the stark choices before us–between equality or oligarchy, individuality or totality, truth and falsehood–Snyder restores our understanding of the basis of our way of life, offering a way forward in a time of terrible uncertainty.
