Salem Witch Trials, Roots for Humanism and Felix Adler

Accompany us for an adventure across archives of America’s academic elite and beyond. From the rabbinical rejection of Felix Adler to Harvard’s hellish minister and the ancestry of A.D. White, this talk will go beyond the pious puritans of the Salem witch trials to explore Victorian resistance to religion, creepy contradictions, and the secrets of a society in the making.

Tyler Lurie-Spicer is an ethical humanist who grew up in the Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture, and has just begun to sit on the Board of Directors. As a young person, he was active in the Children’s program, Youth of Ethical Societies, and the Future of Ethical Societies. Currently, at Cornell University, Tyler recently worked in the Society for the Humanities where he looked after the home of Cornell’s first president, Andrew Dickson White.
