Danny Meyer has opened some of New York's most beloved restaurants. In this week's Wall Street Journal, he writes about closing one.

The excerpt from his new book, "What Could Possibly Go Right?", is a rare look at the hard calls behind the man who built Shake Shack and Union Square Cafe. This winter, you can hear more of his story in person.

Join us for an evening with Danny Meyer in conversation with David Kamp, right here in our corner of the world.

What a wonderful evening ahead of Dr. Miguel Cardona's talk for The Salisbury Forum on Friday night.

Before the program, Dr. Cardona, the 12th U.S. Secretary of Education and a lifelong Connecticut educator, joined Forum board members and a couple of HVRHS students for dinner.

So grateful for that moment of real conversation before the bigger stage.

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!
