American Dream: Historical Origins, Development & Conflicts

19 April 2023 03:00 PM (GMT-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada)
Venue: National Blues Museum
Location: St. Louis, Missouri, United States

The American Dream holds a powerful place in our imagination, especially within the business and entrepreneurial world. When did this idea come about, how did it change over time, and who participates in the dream? Our disagreements on the right policies for society and business are often rooted in different understandings and experiences about this country's promise. We'll explore the origin, development, and negotiation of the American Dream across centuries to enable us all to better understand its many layers and perspectives - with a particular emphasis on St. Louis.


Join us to hear from Raffi Andonian, Celebrity Historian. Raffi is frequently on ABC, FOX, CBS, and NBC TV stations throughout the country, including an Emmy-winning appearance. He is the author of 3 history books and the producer and host of his AppleTV show. He leads a course on "contested histories" with grant funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities, and he has spoken at Oxford, Cambridge, London Stock Exchange, and several humanities councils here in the USA. Raffi began his career as a guide at the Gettysburg battlefield, MLK home, and the birthplace of the atomic bomb in Los Alamos NM. His degrees are in history and business fields.
