Fun evening with Akhil Amar and David Blight at the New-York Historical Society. We talked about Jefferson and Frederick Douglass, with Akhil as the moderator.

I liked Mailer’s “The Armies of the Night” when I read it as a teenager. But this is a scene from a film of his book Tough Guys Don’t Dance that he directed. Worst Line Reading Ever https://youtu.be/Y9KyBdPeKHg via @YouTube

@jbouie In Constitutions,Law and Empire, the class I’m doing with Peter Onuf, we just read Chris Tomlin’s Freedom Bound: Law, Labor, and Civic Identity in Colonizing English America, 1580–1865. Your piece is a nice complement to that, and I will send it to the class.
