This year’s celebration will feature a talk by Suzette Davis-Hudson, a CCA alumna, as well as a Constituent Service Representative for U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter, the annual Constitution Day Bowl and tentatively scheduled a representative from the Department of Homeland Security will be present to speak about the avenues and processes of attaining US Citizenship.

Did you know?
- Our first constitution was a confederacy that lacked a judiciary or an independent executive?
- That our current constitutional definition
of citizenship was formulated by the 14th
Amendment, ratified in 1868, to address the status of former slaves? - That all bills pertaining to raising
revenues (taxes) have to arise in the House of
Representatives? - That your House of Representatives member was the only federal officer directly elected by the people at the signing of the Constitution?
Whether you knew all of these or not, if it provoked your interest to learn more about your government, come by our Constitution Day festivities and enjoy an exciting, spirited celebration!
