If You Can Keep It: The Election of 2020 and The First Amendment
<p>As the elderly Benjamin Franklin was leaving the Constitutional Convention, the story is told that he was approached by a woman, a Mrs. Powell of Philadelphia, who asked whether the United States would be a republic or a monarchy. “A republic, if you can keep it,” Franklin is quoted as saying. As America gears up to vote in a hotly-contested election a year from now, it’s important that we understand how freedom of the press, freedom of expression and our politics are intertwined and work to maintain our republic. The First Amendment of the Constitution elaborates key freedoms: speech, the press, religion, assembly and petitioning the government. Those freedoms aren’t always understood and can sometimes seem in conflict.<br><br>On Constitution Day 2019, Tuesday, Sept. 17, <a href="http://www.mtmercy.edu">Mount Mercy University</a> will host a panel discussion on how First Amendment freedoms interact with the 2020 election campaign in the Betty Cherry Heritage Hall.<br><br>Panelists include:<br><a href="https://www.thegazette.com/contact-us/newsroom">Zack Kucharski</a>, executive editor, The Gazette<br><a href="https://mtmercy.edu/joseph-sheller">Joe Sheller</a>, associate professor of communication<br><a href="https://mtmercy.edu/richard-barrett">Richard Barrett</a>, assistant professor of political science<br><a href="https://www.iowawatch.org/people/">Lyle Mueller</a>, education programming, Iowa Watch<br><br>The event is sponsored by <a href="https://mountmercytimes.home.blog/">The Mount Mercy Times</a>, MMU’s student newspaper; and the Law and Politics Club, a student group at Mount Mercy.</p>

History on Tap: Hot Tamale Louie Telling Stories Without Words
<p>Sometime between chemo and radiation, University of Iowa Music Professor, John Rapson, was struck by inspiration in the form of a New Yorker article. The piece, “Citizen Khan” by Kathryn Schulz, tells of Zarif Khan, who as a teenager left his home near the Khyber Pass in Afghanistan and eventually settled in the Wyoming town of Sheldon in 1907. Khan earned citizenship only to have it stripped because of his ethnicity. Rapson recognized a story of immigration that echoes today’s political conversation about what it means to be an American. Rapson, along with others, created a thirteen-section musical suite evoking different aspects of Khan’s life. Rapson will show video clips from the 2016 performance of Hot Tamale Louie to explore how music can give unique expression to the narratives that most compel and captivate us.</p><p><em>This History on Tap is made possible by Humanities Iowa</em></p> 2019-08-23 18:30:00 -0500
