On September 10 at 5:15pm\, distinguished legal scholars Aziz Rana and Noah Feldman will engage in a critical dialogu e examining whether the Constitution can sustain democratic life amid today 's challenges. They will explore how the document's promises contend with i ts historical compromises and limitations. This conversation confronts a fu ndamental question: does democratic renewal require reimagining our foundin g compact? Their contrasting perspectives offer important insights on the m eaning of our constitution in our current crisis and beyond.
Followin g the event\, we'll be having a free public dinner\, reception\, and book s igning at 25 Winter Pl. Boston\, MA 02108 where we can keep the conversatio n going. See you there!
The Un-monument public conversation series is sponsored by The Hutchins Center for African and African American Research at Harvard University and Boston's Mayor's Office of Arts and Culture.
