Join Up2Us Golden for a viewing and discussion of an interview from Hasan Minhaj with Harvard historian Jill Lepore on the founder's views on how the American people are the ultimate source of authority for the constitution. Professor Lepore notes historical parallels of today's social media with the rise of radio propaganda in the 1930's culminating with a Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden in 1939. According to Professor Lepore, the constitution lives in the hearts and mind of the people, and "if our Constitution is being trampled, it's up to us to stop it." www.up2usgolden.org
