DESCRIPTION:Reframing the Constitution: The Continuing Struggle to Realize a More 
 Perfect Union\n\nTuesday, January 25, 2022 @ 4 PM PT (7 PM ET) \n\nInfo & 
 RSVP: https://www.brennancenter.org/events/reframing-constitution-0\n\nIn 
 their book, "The People's Constitution: 200 Years, 27 Amendments, and the 
 Promise of a More Perfect Union", authors Wilfred Codrington and John 
 Kowal, present an alternative history to our founding document and a vital 
 guide to our national charter. \n\nThey introduce all of the constitution's 
 framers: not just the Framers but "the visionaries and gadflies whose 
 passion and perseverance helped ensure that our national charter could 
 change with the times through periodic infusions of popular input."  That 
 history, they argue, "has been, for the most part, an inspiring story of 
 progressive legal change, driven by powerful social movements and an 
 evolving array of civil society organizations." \n\nBut in our fractured, 
 hyper-partisan politics of today, are we still able to amend the 
 Constitution?\n\nThis webinar is presented in collaboration with The 
 Polonsky Exhibition of The New York Public Library's Treasures, which 
 showcases some of the most extraordinary items from the 56 million in our 
 collections. Among them is one of the 13 handwritten copes that George 
 Washington requested be produced for Congress and each of the 13 states. 
 The event will begin with a short curator talk on the history of the 
 library's copy. \n
