Deliberative Discussion 9-17-20 FULL

The United States in 2020 is, in important ways, a VERY different country from the one the Constitutional framers envisioned. The issue of race/race relations in the US was not solved by the framers nor was it resolved by the American Civil War. As a result, unaddressed racial issues in the US is one of the most pressing topics in the country today. Our historical and cultural inheritance includes the unresolved legacy of those early racial dilemmas as well as additional, complex racial issues that we are confronting as a nation on a daily basis in the COVID era. This Constitution Day Deliberative Conversation will explore these issues and discuss ways that we can move towards actionable change.
