Crayons Before Constitutions: Because Real Justice Doesn't Color Inside the Lines
About the event
Before laws changed society, there were artists bold enough to imagine something better.
For this Big Idea Night discussion, Rebecca Young invites us to explore the powerful relationship between creativity and social change. Drawing from her journey from soldier to civil rights attorney to community builder, she challenges audiences to reconsider where meaningful progress truly comes from—and what role each of us plays in creating it.
Justice demands more than defending existing systems—it’s requires us to imagine new ways of putting our values into action… to see possibility where others see limits, opportunity where others see obstacles, and community where others see division.
Because the future doesn't belong to those who stay inside the lines. It belongs to those courageous enough to redraw them.
