By Patti Butcheck, on August 24th, 2018 David N. Schwartz
 David N. Schwartz The Freethought Society (FS) and the Philadelphia Ethical Society (PES) invite you to an event highlighting the work of author David N. Schwartz.
Please plan to attend Wednesday, September 26, 2018 when PES Leader Hugh Taft-Morales will interview Schwartz about his book The Last Man Who Knew Everything.
Schwartz holds a PhD in political science from MIT and is the author of two previous books. He has worked at the State Department Bureau of Politico-Military Affairs and at Goldman Sachs in a variety of roles in both London and New York. The Nobel Prize in Physics 1988 was awarded jointly to Schwartz’s father Melvin Schwartz, Jack Steinberger and Leon M. Lederman “for the neutrino beam method and the demonstration of the doublet structure of the leptons through the discovery of the muon neutrino.”

Secular Day of the Dead

Rave reviews were received for the two Secular Day of the Dead celebrations that have already taken place in San Diego, California.
We hope to see this tradition repeat in other cities and states around the country. Your participation will help establish this event as an important cultural and much needed outreach to secularists in the Hispanic community.
A Secular Day of the Dead event is a celebration of life.
Nontheist Hispanics view the Day of the Dead as a perfect way to remember the legacy of dead loved ones in a way that does not require prayer, church, or any religious dogma. To nontheists, our legacies are our afterlife.
Many nontheist Hispanics want to continue traditions and cultural rituals, but in a secular way. The Secular Day of the Dead event will include many redesigned Hispanic traditions and rituals that celebrate our one and only life, legacies and cultural heritage.
More and more people are abandoning their religious upbringing, but still want to celebrate the beauty of their culture. This is why a Secular Day of the Dead was created.
A Secular Day of the Dead has never taken place in Los Angeles, California. The 2018 Secular Day of the Dead will be the first of what we hope will become an annual event.
