Battles for Equality in America: The 14th Amendment Featuring Christopher R. Riano

In this Fun Friday Session, Christopher R. Riano, president of the Center for Civic Education, joins National Constitution Center President and CEO Jeffrey Rosen for a conversation on the 14th Amendment and the battle over its meaning from Reconstruction to the Supreme Court’s landmark decision on marriage equality in Obergefell. Riano explores this topic in his book Marriage Equality: From Outlaws to In-Laws, co-authored with professor William N. Eskridge, Jr., which tells the definitive story of the marriage equality movement from 1967 to 2015. He will also discuss his work at the Center for Civic Education, as well as answer questions from participants.
