When: Tuesday 8/11/2026 at 2:00 pm ET
Join us this week as we step inside the history of one of the most important buildings in American history: Independence Hall. We will explore the story of where the Declaration of Independence was debated and adopted, the United States Constitution was drafted, and the foundations of a new nation were laid. From the passionate debates of the founding fathers to the decisions that shaped America’s future, Independence Hall was a staple during defining moments of the American Revolution and the birth of the United States. We will discuss the lesser known history, people, and ideas that transformed this building into a lasting symbol of American independence and self-government.
Constitutional Chats are hosted by Janine Turner, Cathy Gillespie, student ambassadors, and experts who join us weekly to discuss hot-topic issues! The audience is not on camera, but you may ask questions!
