The adoption of amendments to the Constitution after the Civil War is often referred to as the Second Founding. Did the Second Founding fundamentally alter our understanding of the First Amendment and when it applies? What did newly freed enslaved persons think of these new First Amendment freedoms, and how should their narratives affect our modern interpretation of the text?
Join Professors Ilan Wurman (Arizona State College of Law) and William M. Carter, Jr. (University of Pittsburgh School of Law) to hear their perspectives on the Second Founding. Moderated by Professor Steven Collis (Texas Law).
We hope you join us!
