Events
The museum hosts speakers and events on historic and current constitutional topics. The center hosts a yearly program, the "Peter Jennings Project for Journalists and the Constitution", which puts a select group of very accomplished midcareer journalists through an immersion experience in constitutional issues. Jennings Fellows participate in case law workshops, witness a vibrant moot court featuring the nation’s top litigants as they grapple with a thorny contemporary topic, and engage in dynamic programming that shows the Constitution as the foundation of American life, rather than a legal document understood only by judges and constitutional scholars.

Famous quotes containing the word events:
“The geometry of landscape and situation seems to create its own systems of time, the sense of a dynamic element which is cinematising the events of the canvas, translating a posture or ceremony into dynamic terms. The greatest movie of the 20th century is the Mona Lisa, just as the greatest novel is Gray’s Anatomy.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“There are events which are so great that if a writer has participated in them his obligation is to write truly rather than assume the presumption of altering them with invention.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“The system was breaking down. The one who had wandered alone past so many happenings and events began to feel, backing up along the primal vein that led to his center, the beginning of hiccup that would, if left to gather, explode the center to the extremities of life, the suburbs through which one makes one’s way to where the country is.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
