We are pleased to announce that bestselling author Robert Putnam will deliver the opening keynote address Our Kids: The American Dream in Crisis. In his remarks, Putnam will discuss his new book of the same name, which is a groundbreaking examination of the growing inequality gap and why fewer Americans today have the opportunity for upward mobility.
From Our Kids: The American Dream in Crisis
“It’s the American dream: get a good education, work hard, buy a house, and achieve prosperity and success. This is the America we believe in-a nation of opportunity, constrained only by ability and effort. But during the last twenty-five years we have seen a disturbing “opportunity gap” emerge. Americans have always believed in equality of opportunity, the idea that all kids, regardless of their family background, should have a decent chance to improve their lot in life. Now, this central tenet of the American dream seems no longer true or at the least, much less true than it was.”
