The more I was able to productively disagree with people, the more I realized that I didn’t need them to agree with me in order for me to be okay. I found strength and peace in myself that left me feeling more empowered, even when the world felt scary and out of control.
The civic philosophies of Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr. echo in the work of Braver Angels.

I am tracking down a video I saw during Trump’s first term. I don’t see it on this website, but maybe you can direct me. I want to say it was a gentleman in the Midwest who got folks from the Left and the Right to agree to meet (in his barn?) to better understand each other. At the end of the weekend A muslim man and a white conservation older man had invited each other’s families to dinner. It was pretty powerful. any ideas? Thanks!
