Use it or lose it...The Constitution belongs to the citizens. | Betsy Massie | TEDxAshland

Betsy Massie has a presentation straight out of today's headlines. Betsy has had a lifelong love affair with the U.S. Constitution. She spent years making the Constitution relevant to 11 and 12 graders, and now you will have information that you can use as our country continues to be in tumultuous times. Knowledge is power, and Betsy is the perfect person to give us this important information. Betsy Massie graduated with an AB degree in American Studies and began a life-long love affair with the US Constitution. She received a Masters of Divinity at McCormick Theological Seminary and translated this training into work as a Stated Clerk of San Francisco Presbytery which involved the interpretation of Presbyterian law. Later on she received her credential in American History and English, and this provided her with the challenge of trying to make the US Constitution relevant to 11th and 12th graders. She loved this challenge. Now retired, she teaches the US Constitution at OLLI in Ashland, Oregon which is associated with Southern Oregon University. Now more than ever, she feels the urgency of making the US Constitution instrumental to our everyday lives. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
