Constitution Day Town Hall

This Constitution Day, (Wed., Sept. 17) join us for a rare opportunity to hear directly from three distinguished former federal judges in an open town hall discussion about the separation of powers and the role of the judiciary in American democracy. The conversation will be moderated by Richard T. Griffiths, President Emeritus of the Georgia First Amendment Foundation and former CNN Vice President for Global Editorial Quality.

The evening begins with a VIP reception at 5:30 p.m. where guests will have the chance to meet the judges and community leaders in a smaller setting. The main town hall program will begin at 6:30 p.m. in the historic Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum.

Our featured judges bring decades of experience and perspective. Vanessa Gilmore served on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas and was the first African American woman appointed as a federal judge in Texas. Ursula Ungaro served on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, appointed by President George H. W. Bush. Beverly Martin served on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, appointed by President Barack Obama.
