The City of Brotherly Love
William Penn envisioned Philadelphia as a “City of Brotherly Love.” How have such ideals of tolerance, together with intolerance, shaped the city and region? How do we build and sustain community? This panel discussion was moderated by Jean Soderlund of Lehigh University with panelists including Chris Satullo of WHYY; Stephen Glassman of the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission; and Kali Gross of Drexel University. Chris Satullo’s essay on the City of Brotherly Love appeared in the Currents section of the Philadelphia Inquirer on Sunday, March 20, and on Newsworks.org.
