AFA’s Online Video Discussion Series

AFA has launched our Online Video Discussion Series, a weekly gathering via ZOOM to discuss videos in the Freedom Academy’s “Odyssey of Western Civilization” series hosted by Victor Davis Hanson.

Each week starting April 2nd we’ll be discussing two of the videos; as with a book club, we hope that you’ve watched the videos prior to the “meeting” but all are welcome!  

**UPDATED** We’re now beginning the Freedom Academy’s “The Western Story” videos.  Scroll down for new dates and links

Each meeting is $5, unless we have a guest speaker.
