About this Event:
“That we have lost some of our knack for unity in America does not mean that we have forgotten how to agree but that we have forgotten how to disagree.”
—Yuval Levin, American Covenant

As we near July 4 in our 250th year, we turn our attention to the document that charted a path for a new country—the Constitution. Far from being the source of our problems as has become fashionable to believe, Dr. Yuval Levin argues that the Constitution holds the power to save us. According to Levin, “it doesn’t mean thinking alike, it means acting together.” Are you wondering how we could possibly act together when we disagree so vehemently? Join us as we meet a scholar who “may be the most important voice in the political culture right now.”

About our speakers:

• Yuval Levin is the director of Social, Cultural, and Constitutional Studies at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), where he also holds the Beth and Ravenel Curry Chair in Public Policy. The founder and editor of National Affairs, he is also a senior editor at The New Atlantis, and a contributing editor at National Review. He is the author of several books on political theory and public policy, most recently American Covenant: How the Constitution Unified Our Nation - and Could Again (2024). He holds an MA and PhD from the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago.
• Steven Siebert retired from serving as the executive director of Florida Humanities (2016-2020), the statewide nonprofit affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, and is also a former Board Chair of The Village Square. A Florida Supreme Court-certified mediator for over 20 years, Steven gained a statewide reputation for helping resolve contentious public and private sector disputes. He is a graduate of the University of Florida law school.

About the Event Host:
The Village Square is a non-profit, non-partisan public educational forum founded in 2006 by Liz Joyner, Allan Katz, and Bill Law in Tallahassee, Florida. They lamented the lack of a shared civic space where people could air their differences of opinion, so they created one. They now spearhead a variety of programming centered around civility and community-building, especially among political opponents. The group is dedicated to maintaining factual accuracy in civic and political debate by growing civil discourse on divisive issues, and recalling the history and principles at the foundation of our democracy.
