What did “freedom” mean at the founding of America—and how has that vision evolved over time?

Join us at Unity of Fairfax for an engaging community conversation featuring experts from the National Constitution Center as we explore the connection between the American Revolution and the continuing story of civil rights and liberties in the United States.
Together, we’ll reflect on the founding ideals of liberty, representation, and individual rights—and examine how those ideas have been challenged, expanded, and reinterpreted throughout American history.
This discussion offers an opportunity to deepen your understanding of the Constitution while engaging thoughtfully with questions that still shape our society today.
Whether you love history, value civic dialogue, or simply want to better understand the principles behind America’s freedoms, you are warmly welcome.

We'll be in Classroom 1, or you can join us online, via our Zoom link.
