Join us this week as we dive into Tony Williams and David J. Bobb’s new book: “Divided Over the Declaration: How an Enduring Debate Sustains the Vision of America By Tony Williams.” Book Description: “As America celebrates the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the nation remains divided over the true meaning of its most resonant words—equality, liberty, and unalienable rights. In Divided Over the Declaration, acclaimed historians of American democracy David J. Bobb and Tony Williams trace the centuries-long argument over the Declaration’s promises, an argument that has shaped every major struggle in our history.”

Constitutional Chats are hosted by Janine Turner, Cathy Gillespie, student ambassadors, and experts who join us weekly to discuss hot-topic issues! The audience is not on camera, but you may ask questions!
