Inspired by the fabled meeting place in ancient Rome, the CHRLP Forum is a reading group founded on the principles of inclusive citizenship and deliberative democracy.
Works that will be discussed in this session, which will be moderated by Professor Vrinda Narain:
- Frederick Douglass, "An Appeal to Congress for Impartial Suffrage" (1867)
- Lester Kurtz, "The Anti-Apartheid Struggle in South Africa (1912-1992)" (2010)
- Memorandum from JA Macauley, Chairman, Minorities Committee, to Ian Drost, MP, "The Enfranchisement of Canada's Aboriginal Peoples" (1962)
The Forum reading group aspires to create a space for learning from the past, deliberating about the present, and building a common future together. To find out more, see our invitation to join the Forum and how to organize readings.
