America is built on our collective hopes and dreams to govern ourselves and to secure the promises to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Yet, there are times in our history when these were not applied equally to all people and must not be ignored. Acknowledging them and addressing their legacies is a path to assuring that the promises of America are available by all. Dr. Jo Ellen Chatham and co-hosts Judge Jim Gray and Bijan Kian are joined by the former Chairman of the United States Civil Rights Commission, Dr. William Barclay Allen, to shed light on these issues. They discuss at length the Constitution, the revolution in self-government it proposed, and the promises it held for most people. The also consider issues of slavery, the Civil War amendments, voting rights, liberty, and justice. Join this insightful discussion to learn more not only about the Constitution, but constitutional interpretation. More often than not, there is more to learn to learn than what we think we know.
