Marshall-Brennan Constitutional Literacy Project turns 20 - event on April 6th!

I'm writing to invite you to the 20th Anniversary Celebration of the Marshall-Brennan Constitutional Literacy Project on April 6, 2019.

American University is home to faculty who are dedicated to putting ideas into practice. My former colleague -- now Congressman -- Jamie Raskin is certainly one of them.

Launch by Jamie in 1999, the Marshall-Brennan Constitutional Literacy Project challenges law students to serve the community, while empowering Washington, DC-area youth. The program sends upper- level AU WCL law students into Washington, DC-area schools to teach a constitutional law and youth justice. The law students are designated Marshall-Brennan Teaching Fellows in honor of the late United States Supreme Court Justices Thurgood Marshall and William J. Brennan, Jr., and, with the support of their widows, Mrs. Cecilia Marshall and the late Mrs. Mary Brennan.

Good ideas spread. There are now nearly 20 other law schools in the US with Marshall-Brennan chapters and chapters in South Africa and Japan!

Constitutional literacy matters. Civic education matters. If you cannot join us for the Celebration Gala but would like to support this Project with a tax-deductible contribution here.
