Historic Franklin Masonic Hall to Host Lecture Series – Race, Realism and Reconciliation: A Conversation for Consideration

Franklin, TN – The Historic Franklin Masonic Hall in Franklin, Tennessee, will host the second lecture in the series Race, Realism and Reconciliation: A Conversation for Consideration, on Thursday, January 12, 2017, at 7 o’clock. Two historians will come together to candidly discuss the issues surrounding slavery during Polk’s America, the road to the Civil War and Civil Rights.

The Historic Franklin Masonic Hall cordially invites the community to attend. Moderated by Rachael Finch, Preservation Consultant and Historian for the Historic Franklin Masonic Hall, the featured speaker will be Mr. Thomas Price, Curator of the President James K. Polk Home and Museum. Price will present “A Matter of Utmost Caution: James K. Polk and Slavery,” a discussion on the dichotomy of Polk, his views on slavery, and the fractious debate that would culminate in the Civil War. Price will also discuss President Polk’s former slave, Elias, who went on to become a major political activist having learned much about political organization from observing the late President through three decades in politics. Commentary will be provided by Finch.

Doors will open at 6:45. Prior to the lecture, coffee and light refreshments will be served and the discussion will begin promptly at 7pm. The speakers will welcome questions from the audience attendees and encourage open discussion. The Race, Realism and Reconciliation lecture series is free and open to the public.

For information contact the Historic Franklin Masonic Hall at 615.790.1688 or 615.584.4523.

Lipscomb University President Randy Lowry will kick off our first FrankTalks of 2017 to cover this ever-expanding topic. Connecting the university to the Nashville community and beyond is a hallmark of L. Randolph Lowry’s presidency at Lipscomb University. He views the city of Nashville as the university’s campus and the world as its classroom. Since his arrival on campus as the university’s 17th president in September 2005, Lowry has led the Lipscomb community through a period of tremendous growth. In addition to his reputation for education innovation, Lowry is also one of the nation’s leading experts in the dispute resolution field.

For more than 20 years, Lowry has been one of the nation’s leaders in the dispute resolution field and is one of the county’s most sought-after speakers on those subjects. After establishing an innovative program at Willamette University School of Law in Salem, Ore. he founded the Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution at Pepperdine University School of Law. The Straus Institute has been named the No. 1 graduate program of its kind for eight consecutive years, achieving the No. 1 rankling in 11 of the last 16 years by U.S. News & World Report. In 2004, he formalized his longstanding consulting and training practice into the firm now called Strategic Resolutions Group, LLC.

On their journey, the two meet a sinister snake named Kaa, a herd of elephants and a giant bear named Baloo, who teaches them the swingin’ musical rhythms of the jungle. After surviving a dangerous encounter with a band of monkeys led by King Louie, Mowgli and Bagheera are forced to run for their lives. When Shere Khan returns, our heroes must rally their fellow animals into battle and restore peace throughout the jungle.
