Join the National Conversations on #RightsAndJustice

Explore a range of contemporary issues, addressing the tension between individual rights and collective responsibilities, a process that began with the Bill of Rights.

The National Conversations will be held at across the country from 2016 to 2017. Each program will have a central topic. Grounded in documents from the National Archives' collection, they will explore the stories of America's past. These will be starting points from which we will look forward, wondering what new stories wait to be written.

Presented in part by AT&T, Ford Foundation, Seedlings Foundation, Carnegie Corporation of New York, and the National Archives Foundation.
