Born Equal: A Conversation with Akhil Amar

Yale Constitutional Scholar Akhil Amar will discuss his new book. It explores how the idea that all Americans are created equal brought forth the Constitutional amendments that abolished slavery, secured Black and female citizenship, and extended suffrage regardless of race or gender. Dr Amar is the foremost living scholar on Constitutional history and Walnut Creek’s own son. Saint Mary’s College and Community Conversations are pleased to host this event. This event is also co-sponsored by the Roy E. and Patricia Disney Forum. Professor Emeritus Stephen Woolpert will host this timely conversation.

Sponsors include the League of Women Voters of Diablo Valley, the League of Women Voters of West Contra Costa County, the Contra Costa County Library, and Contra Costa TV.
