Continue exploring the 14th Amendment with Session #2 of the Honors College series, Freedom is a Constant Struggle: The Fight for Equal Protection under the 14th Amendment. Facilitated by Dr. Shauna Rigaud (University Honors), this discussion focuses on the enduring resistance to equal protection and the societal forces that have shaped and opposed efforts to achieve true equality.

Participants will watch the second episode of Amend: The Fight for America, followed by an interactive conversation that examines how the Amendment’s ideals have been challenged across generations. In alignment with the University of Maryland’s 2025 First Year Book, The U.S. Constitution, this session deepens our understanding of how constitutional promises can both inspire and be tested in the ongoing pursuit of justice.
