Alexander Meiklejohn Lecture: Tom Perez '83 with Michael Steele

The Taubman Center for American Politics and Policy is pleased to present the Alexander Meiklejohn Lecture featuring Tom Perez, former U.S. Secretary of Labor, Chair of the Democratic National Committee, and renowned advocate for civil rights and constitutional freedoms.

In this timely lecture, Perez will explore the enduring principles of freedom enshrined in the U.S. Constitution and their relevance in today’s political and social landscape. Drawing on his decades of experience in public service, Perez will examine the challenges to constitutional rights, the importance of civic participation, and the role of leadership in safeguarding democracy.

At a moment when questions of justice, equality, and democratic values are at the forefront of national discourse, Perez will offer a powerful reflection on how we can honor the Constitution’s promise of freedom while building a more inclusive and equitable future.

This event will be moderated by former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele.
