Can people with opposing views find common ground? Find out with the Norwood Conversations group at the Morrill Memorial Library on Tuesday April 23 at 7:00 pm. Deborah Holmwood and Barbara Hopcroft will share their opposing views on whether states should use Article 5 to push for an Amendment to overturn the “Citizens United” Supreme Court ruling.* They will continue their conversation with one another and the audience about whether it is possible today to truly listen to another’s different points of view. Is Civil Discourse possible, and can we find common ground? Is it part of our civic responsibility?
