 Thomas Paine and the Value of Dissent,” at 3 p.m., Saturday, May 16, a
 t the Wagner Library, 6646 Riverside Drive, Metairie This event is free o
 f charge and open to the public. It occurs as part of the regularly schedu
 led meeting of the New Orleans Secular Humanist Association.Paine's C
 ommon Sense was published in Jan 1776 and is the precursor to Jefferson&
 #039;s Declaration of Independence. Fieseler says he like to talk about th
 e wider lens of Thomas Paine and the concept e of what it means to be a &q
 uot;dissenter" against tyranny within the framework of American patri
 otism. In the talk, Fieseler says he'll include “some examples of 
 queer history and memory work as acts of resistance/protest, but I'm 
 also thinking of some Civil Rights movement examples to demonstrate linea
 ge with Paine across time.”For more information regarding this event, c
