The Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum presents a Constitution Day program, "Equality and the Constitution: A Conversation and Book Signing with Kermit Roosevelt III and John Q. Barrett" at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 17, 2022. St. John’s University law professor and Library Trustee John Q. Barrett and University of Pennsylvania Professor of Constitutional Law Kermit Roosevelt III will discuss how the "standard story" of the origin and development of American values has helped -- or hindered -- the Nation's journey towards a more universal equality for all Americans. Following the program, Roosevelt will sign copies of his new book, The Nation That Never Was: Reconstructing America’s Story.
It will be both in-person (local health metrics permitting) at the Henry A. Wallace Center at the FDR Presidential Library and Home and streamed live to the official FDR Library social media accounts: YouTube, Twitter and Facebook.
