Each year Columbia College Chicago observes Constitution Day, and this year we have exciting activities planned for the College community. First, the Library will host voter sign-ups at two campus locations. Voter sign up forms, information and goodies will be available at each station, including FREE copies of the US Constitution in both English and Spanish.
Voter sign-up
Tuesday, September 17, 10am - 2pm
624 S. Michigan, Library, 1st Floor AND 623 S. Wabash, Lobby
In October, we will continue our recognition of Constitution Day by screening the award-winning 2013 documentary, Gideon's Army, directed by Dawn Porter. The documentary follows three young public defenders in the South, where sentencing is exceptionally steep and the prison population swollen. The film takes its name from Gideon v. Wainwright, the landmark 1963 Supreme Court decision that guarantees the right of legal representation to all criminal defendants.
Gideon’s Army screening and panel discussion
Thursday, October 24, 6pm

This program is FREE and open to the public.
