The time of the event is tentative. Please watch for updates. 

Professor Akhil Amar, Yale constitutional scholar, will discuss his new book, Born Equal: Remaking Americaa's Constitution, 1840 -1920, which explores the transformative amendments that redefined freedom, equality, and voting rights in the post-Civil War era. At a moment when there are multiple challenges to our Constitution, this conversation with Dr. Amar is timely. 

Professor Emeritus Stephen Woolpert will moderate the conversation.  

A book sale and signing will follow the program.

St. Mary's College and Community Conversations will host this event.

More details and registration link coming soon!

Community Conversations are co-sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Diablo Valley, the League of Women Voters of West Contra Costa County, CCTV, and the Contra Costa County Library. The Library will provide closed captioning for this event, and the Library and LWVDV are underwriting simultaneous Spanish translation. This program will be recorded and uploaded to the Library and LWVDV YouTube channels after the event.
