SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture – : “In Pursuit of Gold Mountain”: Asian Immigration and History in the United States
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Daniel J. Sieh \nThe United States\, or “Gold Mountain” as it was known in Asia\, was often seen as a very distant but promising destination for many in the East looking for opportunity. New research puts the beginnings of Asian immigration much earlier than expected\, with some even making their way to the American Revolution and the nascent United States with the “Old China Trade”. From mercantile beginnings to the turbulent struggles of a nation in the midst of a civil war\, through the turmoil and development in the 20th century the history of Asians in the United States reflects the underlying history that connects all in their pursuit of the “American Dream”. \nCan’t watch live? All lectures will be recorded. Please register and you’ll receive the link to watch the recording after the event. \nCost: FREE

SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture – The Constitution: Promises and Challenges
DESCRIPTION:HA is pleased to be a Foundational Friend of the Maryland Council for Social Studies and are partnering with them to present programs focusing on the United States Constitution. The first program is on Constitution Day\, Wednesday\, September 17th at 7:30 pm. Joey Landgraf\, President of MDCSS will share the educational role and goals of the organization and to introduce our speaker\, Professor Gilda Daniels. \nWhether you are a student\, educator\, legal professional\, or engaged community member\, this program invites you to reflect on the Constitution’s legacy and to confront the challenges that remain in fulfilling its guarantees for all. \nJoin Gilda Daniels\, Professor of Law at the University of Baltimore School of Law\, and voting rights expert\, for an engaging Constitution Day program that explores the enduring promises and persistent challenges of America’s founding document through the lens of a “living Constitution” This thought-provoking event will examine how the Constitution’s vision for liberty\, equality\, and justice has been interpreted\, expanded\, and sometimes constrained over time. \nThrough historical reflection and contemporary analysis\, we will consider how the Constitution is not a static relic\, but a dynamic framework-shaped by amendments\, judicial interpretation\, and the ongoing efforts of citizens to make its ideals real. We will explore: \n\nThe foundational principals embedded in the Constitution\nHow the living Constitution framework influences debates over rights and governance\nLandmark Supreme Court decisions that have redefined constitutional protections\nThe challenges of applying 18th century language to 21st century issues\nThe role of civic engagement in fulfilling the Constitution’s promises\n\nCan’t watch live? All lectures will be recorded. Please register and you’ll receive the link to watch the recording after the event. \nCost: FREE
