About this Event
As the nation continues to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States and approaches the 2026 General Election, the League of Women Voters of DeKalb County and the DeKalb County History Center are partnering to encourage thoughtful conversations about the Constitution, civic engagement, and the foundations of American democracy.
Join us for “Lunch & Liberty,” a new four-part book discussion series led by the League of Women Voters of DeKalb County and based on What Does the Constitution Actually Say? by Ben Sheehan.
The series offers an accessible and engaging opportunity to explore the U.S. Constitution, consider its historical context, and discuss its relevance to our lives and democracy today.
