The series will examine attempts to undermine the progress of this pivotal period and highlight the lessons and inspiration it offers for addressing contemporary challenges. Structured around the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, the program aims to equip lawyers with fresh perspectives on the U.S. Constitution and its potential to drive societal transformation. The third webinar, “The Importance of Teaching Reconstruction and the Law Today,” will discuss how learning about and teaching Reconstruction provides Americans with a new and necessary perspective of the U.S. Constitution, and the social and structural tensions that arise when working to create a more equitable and just American society.
