Liberty & Equality in America with Byron Williams

The Declaration of Independence is the United States' most radical idea, and its most enduring paradox.  Byron Williams, renowned public intellectual, theologian, columnist, explores this paradox in his new book, Liberty and Equality in America:  Examining the Radical and Paradoxical Legacy of the Declaration of Independence.  Williams asks: What does it mean for a nation officially committed to liberty and equality, while unofficially hamstrung by paradox to achieve its central tenets? Refusing simplistic celebration or cynical dismissal, Williams explores America's founding through the enduring tension between its highest ideals and its deepest contradictions.
