Chief Justice to participate in a Constitution reading

Tomorrow is Constitution day, and Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye will participate in a celebratory reading of the 233-year-old document as part of a program by E.D. Cal.

The livestream is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. and last approximately 90 minutes.

The reading will commemorate the anniversary of the Constitution’s signing in 1787, as well as the anniversaries of the 15th Amendment (the right of citizens to vote) and 19th Amendment (the right of women to vote), ratified 150 and 100 years ago, respectively.
