Join the National Constitution Center, in partnership with In Pursuit and More Perfect, for a special Independence Week Town Hall exploring how the United States will mark the 250th anniversary of its founding and what this milestone moment calls us to consider about our past, present, and future.
Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and National Constitution Center Semiquincentennial Scholar Jon Meacham, 11th Archivist of the United States Colleen Shogan, and Harvard University Professor Danielle Allen join Robert Costa of CBS News for a wide-ranging conversation on the shared principles at the heart of the American idea and the many ways the nation is marking this milestone anniversary. Together, they will also explore the broader challenges and opportunities facing the practice of history today, including how we tell our national story, engage across differences, and connect new generations to the enduring ideals of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
Guests joining us at the Center for the program will enjoy exclusive access to our two new permanent galleries, Governing the Nation and America’s Founding.
We invite you to be part of the conversation.
