Book coverWyoming Humanities has announced a unique programming opportunity for communities, libraries, and non-profit organizations across the state.

Fault Lines in the Constitution is a book written by Cynthia and Sanford Levinson that explores the historic document:

“Each chapter in this timely and thoughtful exploration of the Constitution’s creation begins with a story—all but one of them true—that connects directly back to a section of the document that forms the basis of our society and government. From the award-winning team, Cynthia Levinson, children’s book author, and Sanford Levinson, constitutional law scholar, Fault Lines in the Constitution will encourage exploration and discussion from young and old readers alike.”
