September 17, 1787 marks the signing of the US Constitution. George Washington wrote a cover letter explaining to the states why they should ratify it. The first printing was in the Pennsylvania Packet and Daily Advertiser 2 days later. Notably, on display there will be a rare copy of the Constitution, and the United States District Court for the District of New York was the first court to convene after the passage of the Judiciary Act of 1789.

Please join cultureNOW, the United States District Court for the District of New York, & the Lower Manhattan Historical Association for an afternoon symposium about our Constitution and its ratification.

Speakers:

Professor Kevin Arlyck, Georgetown Law

Honorable Judge P. Kevin Castel, United States Southern District Court

Seth Kaller, Historical Documents & Legacy Collections

James von Klemperer, FAIA, President Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates
