If one word defines the American experiment, it is equality. Thomas Jefferson declared that “all men are created equal” and called the principle "self evident," yet from the nation's founding, Americans have struggled to define and achieve that ideal.

This presentation traces the evolving pursuit of equality across generations, examining how it has been expanded, challenged, and reinterpreted in law and society. Through key moments in American history, participants will explore the nation's ongoing effort to transform a founding principle into lived reality.
