"America: Was It Worth It?" An America250 lecture from John McWhorter

John McWhorter is not just a linguist—he’s a storyteller of language, a cultural critic, and a fearless commentator on the social issues of our time. As a professor at Columbia University, John has spent his career dissecting the ways in which language evolves, adapts, and reflects the human condition. His research into creole languages, dialects, and sociolects offers a window into the ever-changing tapestry of human communication.

On Monday, November 2, McWhorter will give a lecture, "America: Was It Worth It?" as part of the College of Arts & Science's America250 events.
