Washington's Rebuke to Bigotry
In Washington’s Rebuke to Bigotry, 30 scholars from around the world and across the disciplines use George Washington’s 1790 letter to the Hebrew Congregation in Newport, Rhode Island, as an entry point to engage with complex questions about religion, citizenship, and belonging in our increasingly diverse communities. Contributors include Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg; philosopher and prize-winning author Anthony Appiah; author and activist Eboo Patel; Pulitizer Prize winning historian, Gordon Wood; and Dean of the Faculty of Law at Harvard University, Martha Minow.
