David presents on the history of the Lyceum Movement
Sunday, 10:30, March 23rd, EASTER SUNDAY
Baltimore Ethical Society
306 W. Franklin St. Suite 103
Baltimore, MD 21201
Appropriate for the day celebrating resurrection, David will be speaking about what was going on in the early mid-nineteenth Century and its resurrected form in the Baltimore Lyceum.
March 23: “AMERICAN IDEALISM AT ITS BEST: THE LYCEUM MOVEMENT, 1830-1860" by David O'Donaghue, Psy.D.
The Democratic system requires both an educated populace and public forums in which to grapple with issues. David O’Donaghue, the founder and director of the Baltimore Lyceum, will explore how the Lyceum Movement met these objectives through the establishment of local educational centers, sponsoring such speakers as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Frederick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony, and Nathaniel Hawthorne on lecture circuits around the country. He will also tell us about his experience in continuing this tradition by re-establishing lyceums in the mountains of North Carolina, New Orleans and now in Baltimore.
DAVID O'DONAGHUE, Psy.D. spent the first 15 years of his working life as a psychologist. He then chose to return to school to do doctoral work in philosophy, concentrating on the influence of German philosophy on transcendentalism and adult education. David is the founder and director of the Baltimore Lyceum.
