Consider This with Akhil Reed Amar

Join us for an onstage conversation with one of the country’s leading thinkers on constitutional law. We’ll explore how equality has been a core part of US law and national self-understanding since the Declaration of Independence, how our understanding of who is considered equal has evolved over time, and how we can strive toward this ideal today in the face of powerful resistance. Akhil Reed Amar teaches constitutional law at Yale University and is the author of many books about the Constitution, most recently Born Equal: Remaking America’s Constitution, 1840-1920.
