Town Destroyer explores the ways we look at art and history at a time of racial reckoning. The story focuses on a passionate dispute over historic murals at a public high school depicting the life of George Washington, a man Seneca leaders called “Town Destroyer” after he ordered their villages destroyed during the Revolutionary War. The controversy becomes a touchstone for a national debate over public art and historic memory.

We will view the film together, followed by a time of discussion.

Join us for a respectful and engaging discussion of The American Centrist: A Moderate Manifesto with author Brent Jones, who will be joining us in person.

At a time of deep political division, this book explores the role of the political “middle” and the value of dialogue, compromise, and practical solutions. In the spirit of Braver Angels, we’ll come together to exchange perspectives, ask questions, and practice constructive conversation across differences.

All are welcome—whether you’ve read the book or are simply curious. Come ready to listen, share, and engage.
