What does it actually mean that all men are created equal?

This past April, Yale Law Professor Akhil Reed Amar brought a stunning answer to Walker Auditorium at The Hotchkiss School. Drawing on Lincoln and Euclid, Amar revealed what he thinks the Founders actually meant: that equality in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness isn't a sentiment, it's a mathematical truth. Universal. Euclidean. A birthright that belongs to every human being simply because they are human.

We are back in September with more conversations that matter. Hope to see you then!

Yale constitutional scholar Akhil Reed Amar joined us last month for a conversation that felt especially timely.

As America approaches its 250th, Amar traced the arc of the founding proposition that all men are created equal: where it came from, where it fell short, and how it has been remade across generations.

The full program is now available on our website. Link in bio.

Tomorrow night, we are asking one of the biggest questions in American history and we have one of the best people in the country to help us think through it.

As America approaches its 250th birthday, what does it actually mean that "all men are created equal?" Yale constitutional scholar Akhil Reed Amar, who has been cited by Supreme Court justices across the ideological spectrum in over 50 cases, is bringing his landmark scholarship to the Salisbury Forum stage, and we cannot wait.

Come for the conversation. Stay for the book signing. Audience members have the chance to receive a copy of his newest work, Born Equal: Remaking America's Constitution, 1840–1920, and Professor Amar will sign copies after the program.

This is exactly the kind of evening that reminds you why these conversations matter. See you there!

Professor Akhil Reed Amar has been cited by Supreme Court justices across the ideological spectrum in more than 50 cases. That is not an accident. It is what happens when scholarship is rigorous enough to transcend politics.

This Friday, April 24 at 7:30 PM, comes to the Salisbury Forum stage to ask a question that feels more urgent than ever: what does it truly mean that all men are created equal?

As America approaches its 250th birthday, there is no better moment to sit with that question, and no better guide to help us think it through.

Audience members have the opportunity to receive a copy of his landmark book, Born Equal: Remaking America's Constitution, 1840–1920, and Professor Amar will sign copies following the program.
