The Thomas Paine Historical Association hosted a community reading of selected portions of Thomas Paine’s transformative work, Common Sense, at the Thomas Paine Memorial Building in New Rochelle, NY. The one hour event featured live readings by various members of the New Rochelle community including students, elected officials, civic leaders as well some videoed readings by international and national Thomas Paine enthusiasts. This Celebration of the 250th anniversary of Common Sense focused on the words of Thomas Paine that speak to the ongoing debate on the rights and role of citizens in a democratic republic. TPHA Board member Lisa Burton moderated the event, and readings were followed by questions and discussion with TPHA President Gary Berton.
