What could be more appropriate on the 4th of July than three part lecture series entitled "A Short History of Freedom: The Origins and Institutionalization of Freedom," from Orlando Patterson provide by the Princeton University online lecture site. You will need to have your volume turned up and you might want to just listen to the lecture because the video is dark. Still, the subject matter and the speaker are very worthwhile. Here is a link to the lecture trilogy Orlando Patterson: "A Short History of Freedom: The Origins and Institutionalization of Freedom," from Princeton University.
