Description
Get to the bedrock of our national identity with this ongoing exploration of our founding documents. We will reflect on each session’s selections by carefully handwriting them for ourselves, learning a little more about their drafting or history, and discussing the ways they have impacted or impeded our collective progress. This month, we commemorate the Nineteenth Amendment, which granted women the right to vote, and reflect on America’s as yet unfulfilled promises by examining the Equal Rights Amendment. Use your own writing implements and we’ll provide the rest. This program is inspired by artist Morgan O’Hara’s Handwriting the Constitution project. This event will be pre-recorded and posted on the library’s Facebook page and YouTube channel. Hosted by Penn Yan Public Library.
