| | With Liberty and Justice For....A Few
Philadelphia’s African Americans, Jews, and Catholics all made major contributions to the celebration of America’s 150th birthday. Yet each were treated very differently by the fair’s managers and by the city government, reflecting the prejudices of America in the 1920s. On January 8, 2026 at 7:00 pm, Tom Keels will describe these events at Gloria Dei (Old Swedes’) Church. Admission is $10, which includes a drink ticket for a beverage of your choice (alcoholic or non-alcoholic). Advance registration is required.
Tickets can be purchased
