32nd Annual McDonald Lecture: The Impotence of Courage: Is the Constitution Flawed or are We?

A global pandemic, and calls for racial and social justice, brought on through 2020, were not just historical moments, but a universal call to action. A call that requires us to understand that we are in this together. So why are some of us, especially those with power and privilege, playing it safe? Where is the courage to act?

The McDonald Lecture is presented by the Centre for Constitutional Studies through an endowment to the Faculty of Law in memory of Justice David C. McDonald.
