About Presentations
The evolution of the North Carolina Constitution is a part of our shared history and being together to learn and react allows us to grow as a community. The exploration of race relations through the Tales is especially powerful in this setting.

Ann McColl draws on about eight hours of presentation materials to adapt a multi-media presentation of Constitutional Tales to the interests of an audience. Judges, lawyers, historians, educators, students, advocates, legislators, and policy-makers have attended these presentations. You can learn more about the content by going to About the Tales.
