Fault Lines in the Constitution

Alert!

Tonight’s conversation with the Levinsons has been postponed due to the extreme weather forecasted for this evening. 

The Levinsons have graciously agreed to reschedule. We are looking at dates in the spring and should have a decision before the end of the week.

We apologize for any inconvenience, and hope to see you at the rescheduled event!

 

An evening with author Cynthia Levinson and constitutional lawyer Sanford Levinson
Open to the public, RSVP at gordonschool.org/levinson 

Author Cynthia Levinson and constitutional lawyer Sanford Levinson of the Harvard Law School will be coming to Gordon to lead a conversation open to parents, caregivers, interested students and the general public.

The two collaborated on Fault Lines in the Constitution, an excellent primer on how America’s founding document has shaped our history. The book is written for middle-school-age students and is a fascinating adult read as well. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to read alongside their children and attend the event together.

Several of Cynthia Levinson’s other books are familiar to many Gordon readers, including The Youngest Marcher and Free to Learn. This event is part of the schoolwide conversation on democracy and dissent that is happening this year, and connects directly to humanities and social studies curricula unfolding in several grades. For a sample of that conversation, see www.gordonschool.org/election.

Copies of Fault Lines in the Constitution are available through Gordon's Joukowsky Family Library, and library director Frances Martindale gives the Audible audiobook two thumbs up.
