Word for Word: Copy the Constitution
What does it actually say? Michigan Writers, in partnership with Traverse Area District Library, invite the community to join us on October 4, 10-12:00, at the McGuire Room in Traverse Area District Library to help hand copy the constitution word for word, post it in our hand-written scrawls, and then to read it aloud.

Each participant will be given a section to copy. We will post all the sections and read this important rights document aloud. All are welcome to join or observe. This exercise hopes to raise awareness through reclamation of the language that holds the principles of our country. It refreshes our understanding of the core rights document of democracy, bypasses partisanship, puts us in kinship with those early writers and thinkers, and offers affirmation. Join us at the library.

Just show up. Your favorite writing implement would be helpful.
