Join us this week as we uncover the extraordinary story of Elizabeth Freeman—known as “Mum Bett”—whose fight for freedom helped bring the ideals of the American Revolution to life. In the midst of a nation’s struggle for independence, she boldly invoked the Massachusetts Constitution’s promise that “all are born free and equal,” challenged injustice in court, and won. We’re joined by Professor Lucas Morel to discuss his powerful essay and what Freeman’s story reveals about liberty, consent, and America’s founding principles.
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!
