Cambridge Public Library
Date and time
Saturday, May 20, 2017

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer offers remarks about the Constitution of United States of America as part of Democracy Day celebrations in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Breyer speaks at 1:15 p.m. in the Main Library, Lecture Hall, including time for questions. “It is an honor to have Justice Breyer take part in Democracy Day,” said Maria McCauley, Director of Libraries. “In celebrating the Constitution with our Cambridge community it is quite special to get a visit from a United States Supreme Court Justice.” Democracy Day is a family oriented event centering around a public, participatory reading of the Constitution of the United States of America and its amendments. This event is part of the Our Path Forward series presented by the Library to affirm its commitment to public discourse and democracy.
