In a polarized age full of vicious verbal combat, what should we do when we encounter ideas and practices we find highly objectionable? Seek to “cancel” those with whom we disagree? Threaten violence to try and silence our opponents? In the 1960s, some college students from right here in Florida faced these questions head on. And the answers they found ought to inform—and inspire—us today. Come and learn their story—and how it relates to our own present-day situation.

Mark your calendars! This event will be live-streamed on our page Thursday, March 24th starting at 6PM.

The Center for Free Enterprise and Entrepreneurship presents The Economics of Your Dreams; The things you want in life cannot be separated from your need to foster economic cooperation, with guest speaker T.K. Coleman.

T.K. Coleman is the Director of Entrepreneurial Education at FEE and is best described as a passionate voice for possibility. As a firm believer in the idea that freedom begins from within, his life mission is to help people reclaim a sense of personal power in their everyday lives. In his seminars, his underlying message is: “The conversation on liberty in America is not complete unless we include the part that involves life and the pursuit of happiness.”

T.K. was featured on the Netflix documentary “Less is Now,” is a coach for altMBA, has worked on multiple startups, and has delivered hundreds of workshops and keynote talks to thousands of students, teachers, and leaders across the country.

Mark your calendars - you do not want to miss this!
