SUMMARY:25 Years of Asking Questions: What is Justice?
DESCRIPTION:What does justice really mean\, and can it ever be fully achieved?\nFrom the Nuremberg Trials to modern war crimes\, and from Supreme Court decisions to local community courts\, justice often feels both essential and incomplete. This lecture invites reflection on what we expect from justice\, what it asks of us\, and how Robert H. Jackson’s belief in law as a moral force continues to resonate today. \nThis lecture is part of our 25 Years of Asking Questions lecture series. We are thankful to the Southern Chautauqua Federal Credit Union for sponsoring this series.

SUMMARY:25 Years of Asking Questions: Who Belongs in America?
DESCRIPTION:Who belongs in America? And who decides?\nFrom Ellis Island to today’s debates over immigration and citizenship\, questions of inclusion and exclusion have long shaped the nation’s identity. Inspired by Korematsu v. United States\, this program explores how fear\, race\, and national security have influenced who is recognized as fully “American.” In his dissent\, Robert H. Jackson warned of the dangers of allowing racial discrimination under the Constitution. Join us for a timely conversation on citizenship\, national identity\, and the constitutional boundaries of belonging. \nThis lecture is part of our 25 Years of Asking Questions lecture series. We are thankful to the Southern Chautauqua Federal Credit Union for sponsoring this series.
