Jill Lepore

In conversation with Jim Falk, World Affairs Council of Dallas/Fort Worth

Presented in partnership with the Gail Koppman Endowed History Lecture at the World Affairs Council of Dallas/Fort Worth

Jill Lepore, bestselling author of These Truths, presents We the People, a stunning new history of the U.S. Constitution for a troubling new era.

The U.S. Constitution is among the oldest constitutions in the world―and one of the most difficult to amend. In this landmark, lavishly illustrated book, Lepore argues that the philosophy of amendment is foundational to American constitutionalism. This sweeping and democratic constitutional history tells the stories of generations of Americans who have attempted everything from abolishing the Electoral College to guaranteeing environmental rights, hoping to mend America by amending its constitution.

Jill Lepore is the David Kemper ’41 Professor of American History at Harvard University and a staff writer at The New Yorker. A two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist, her many books include the international bestseller These Truths and If Then, which was longlisted for the National Book Award.

Moderator Jim Falk is the interim president and CEO of World Affairs Council of DFW; he previously served as president and CEO from 2001 to 2021. Currently, Falk serves as vice chairman of the Board of Global Santa Fe and is producer and host of the weekly broadcast “The Forum.”
