UWM History Distinguished Professor Emerita Margo Anderson will set the scene by taking us back to Philadelphia on September 17, 1787 at the signing of the United States Constitution, which continues to serve as our most important reminder of our nation’s founding principles and reliance on the rule of law. The UWM Planetarium Director, Jean Creighton, will then take us on an indoor tour of the night sky on the evening of September 17, 1787, helping us appreciate what the Framers saw and what they understood about what they saw at that essential moment in American history.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join us on this unique visit to our nation’s past as seen through the eyes of those who so ably foresaw the governmental structure we needed to get here, to their future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The evening will culminate in a questions and discussion period, and refreshments will be provided.  Free pocket constitutions will be distributed as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
