American Covenant Reading Group
Led by: Bryan Gentry, Director of Communications, McCausland College of Arts and Sciences
Is the Constitution the cause of America's political challenges or the solution? In American Covenant, the scholar Yuval Levin argues that the Constitution can help America repair its fault lines. This reading group will discuss Levin's insights about American history, political division and constructive disagreement. Participants will be invited to meet Levin during his November 18 visit to USC. Join this group if you are curious about history, politics or engaging debate about how to bring Americans together.
Interested? Email Bryan Gentry to join this group.
