Is the Constitution Colorblind?

In recognition of Constitution Day, CNU’s Center for American Studies invites you to a timely conversation about race, law, and the meaning of equality.

Join Joshua Dunn, Professor and Executive Director of the Institute of American Civics at the University of Tennessee, and Derek W. Black, Professor of Law and Ernest F. Hollings Chair in Constitutional Law at the University of South Carolina, for the Center’s 2026 Constitution Day Debate.

Thursday, September 24, 2026
4:30 p.m.
TFAC Lecture Hall, Christopher Newport University

Professors Dunn and Black bring distinguished—and differing—perspectives on constitutional law, civil rights, education, and equality.

We hope you’ll join us for a thoughtful and substantive discussion of a question that remains central to American constitutional life.
