28th Amendment Town Hall in your Neighborhood, moderated by Brian Tate
BPL Presents, the programming team of Brooklyn Public library, started the 28th Amendment Project earlier this year and, continuing the project, now invites the public online to help to draft the 28th amendment to the Constitution. The 27th amendment was added to our Constitution in 1992, so we think the time has arrived to propose another change. Through a series of online town hall forums, people of all ages and backgrounds can give voice to the most important issues facing their communities today and discuss how the U.S. Constitution supports or hinders contemporary society.
Ideas put forward during the series of virtual town hall meetings will be sent to our Framers, who will draft our Constitution’s next amendment on behalf of the people. While the result will not be a legal document, the amendment will reflect the aspirations and collective will of the people.
Brian Tate is a cultural curator who develops major public programs that examine the issues of our time. His curatorial focus is women of color and his programs gather audiences across traditional divides of race, ethnicity and age.
