Envisioning Justice: Mass Incarceration and the Constitution
Thursday, September 14, 2023 , 3:30 pm – 5:00 pm CDT
Constitution Day is celebrated each year on September 17 to commemorate the September 17, 1787, signing of the United States Constitution.
This year, Illinois State University will celebrate the occasion by presenting Envisioning Justice: Mass Incarceration and the Constitution on September 14, 2023, from 3:30 – 5 p.m. in the Old Main Room of the Bone Student Center.
This multi-faceted event is part of the Leadership for Liberation Pop-Up Library Series and will ask participants to consider the juxtaposition of mass incarceration in the United States with the values and vision stated in the U.S. Constitution.
Tyreece Williams from Envisioning Justice will be the featured speaker. His presentation will examine the impacts of mass incarceration in Illinois and emphasize how the arts and humanities are essential tools to envisioning and building a more just society.
No registration is required to participate in this event. Free snacks will be available. This event is sponsored by the Center for Civic Engagement, the Leadership Education and Development Unit of the Dean of Students Office, and Milner Library.
