The modern world, along with its political structures and cultural norms, remains deeply influenced by a period known as "the Enlightenment." Yet many Americans are unfamiliar with the term today, the concepts behind it, or how Thomas Jefferson may be understood to represent the spirit into time. Join us for a live Q&A with Monticello's Manager of Historic Interpretation, Brandon Dillard. Mr. Dillard will discuss this philosophical movement, how Enlightenment thinking on politics, science, and race continue to impact our world today, and how Monticello guides treat this subject with guests from around the world HERE.
