Town Hall for Students Featuring American Free Speech Activist Mary Beth Tinker
Saturday, May 1, 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT
This Law Day, the National Constitution Center is hosting a Student Town Hall with Mary Beth Tinker, who at 13 years old, fought for the First Amendment rights of freedom of expression for students in schools. She brought her case all the way to the Supreme Court—and won! Tinker will share more about her story, and also answer questions from participants.
This is a special program for Girl Scouts, but the National Constitution Center is inviting friends of the Center to join this event for an “inside look” at the types of educational and engaging programs we offer for students, families, and community groups throughout the year.
Girl Scouts can also sign up for the full lineup of programs, which includes museum tours, panel discussions, trivia games, and more, all specifically designed for Girl Scouts and customized to help them achieve select requirements for badges. View more information here!
