Billy Keyserling to Speak at Free Unity and Diversity Event

October 22, 2022 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Free

Billy Keyserling, recognized nationally for his efforts to mobilize community action for the common good, will address the topic Unity and Diversity: Unpacking America’s Historical Baggage on Saturday, October 22. Co-sponsored by The First Presbyterian Church of New Vernon and The Presbyterian Church in Morristown, the presentation and discussion are open to the public and will take place in in the Morristown Church’s sanctuary from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 pm at 57 East Park Place, Morristown. Snacks and an opportunity to talk with Billy will follow his presentation.

Billy’s presentation will focus on the need for an accurate understanding of history as a means of building unity and promoting racial equity. A Beaufort, South Carolina native, Billy’s expertise is based on a career in public service, beginning as a staffer on Capitol Hill, followed by terms in the South Carolina legislature and three terms as mayor of Beaufort. He retired from elected service to commit his time and financial resources to the establishment of The Reconstruction Era National Park in Beaufort. Billy has established the educational non-profit, The Second Founding of America, and written a book, Sharing Common Ground: Promises Unfilled but Not Forgotten. The two churches are honored by Billy’s willingness to share his vast knowledge of history, public affairs, and public policy with our communities’ members.
