A Dramatic Constitution: A Vermont Humanities Program
While the United States Constitution is small in size, it is large enough to support our most dramatic disagreements. Beginning with the clash between slave states and free states, we have staged all of our controversies on the Articles and Amendments. Even during the Civil War, the Constitution held.
Once again we are divided on the merits of the Constitution: can it redeem us or is it a convenient cloak for white supremacy? Neither a divine document nor a tool of elites, the Constitution might also be seen as an invitation to develop the habits of civic friendship.
This Program is Supported by the Vermont Humanities Council.
The Library's 125th Anniversary Reception
Our little library is turning 125 years old!

At 6:30, Professor Meg Mott will give her presentation on the Constitution, as we reflect on the country’s 250 year history.
