ABA - Dialogue

This site was created by the ABA to promote a series of dialogues celebrating our Constitution and encouraging debate on important issues facing our nation during this critical time in our history. It seeks to engage the American public in conversations about important issues and challenges that demand thoughtful discussion.

Parents play an important role in affirming what their children learn about our American history and freedoms. The American Bar Association encourages adults to explore with children the legacy of our Constitution and the Bill of Rights, our past struggles, and the challenges we face as a free society. Here are some tips for talking about these ideas in your home.

Submitted fall, 2002

This fall, as we are peppered with replays of the hideous scenes of evil perpetrated upon our country last year, we pause to celebrate the lives of those lost forever. We honor their memory and their sacrifice, and we express gratitude for the thousands of organized and spontaneous acts of kindness and courage shown by people all over the world.
