VIRTUAL: Exploring the Constitution & the News: Foundations to Front Pages: What the Constitution Says—and How It’s Being Interpreted Today
As our country celebrates its 250th birthday this year, please join the League of Women Voters for a virtual series that explores the U.S. Constitution through both its historical foundations and its ongoing relevance in today’s headlines every 3rd Thursday evening of the month at 7:00PM . Each session will take a deeper look at how the framers’ debates, amendments, and landmark interpretations continue to shape the issues we see in the news—from voting rights and separation of powers to free speech, federalism, and more.
Designed for adults seeking a clearer understanding of how our government works, this series blends accessible history with thoughtful discussion of current events. Participants will gain practical civic knowledge, learn how constitutional principles apply to modern challenges, and leave better equipped to evaluate news and public policy.
Whether you're a longtime civic learner or just beginning to dig into constitutional questions, The programs will offer an engaging, nonpartisan space to explore how America’s founding document continues to guide— and sometimes complicate—our democracy today.
The programs will be different each month through October, 2026. Each session will be introducing a different topic and conveying them through the lens of the U.S. Constitution. It is not necessary to attend each session as they all "stand alone".
The programs will be presented by Steven D. Schwinn who teaches constitutional law, comparative constitutional law, at UIC Law School. Steve is founding editor-in-chief of the American Constitution Society Supreme Court Review and founding co-editor of the Constitutional Law Prof Blog. He is a longtime member of the American Constitution Society Chicago Lawyers Chapter Board of Advisers.
The series is sponsored by the Wheaton League of Women Voters – a non partisan political organization dedicated fostering informed and active participation in government. For more information about the Wheaton League visit https://my.lwv.org/illinois/wheaton

The Bee Gees, Disco, & Saturday Night Fever
The Bee Gees, Disco, & Saturday Night Fever
The Bee Gees, disco music, and Saturday Night Fever all collided in the mid-1970s. The decade prior, The Bee Gees were a Beatlesque pop band, but reinvented themselves and became disco superstars. Disco music had its origins in small, urban dance clubs and absolutely exploded into mainstream America thanks to the film Saturday Night Fever starring John Travolta. Using music and video clips, we’ll explore it all - the pop-culture moment that reshaped our nightlife, dancing, fashion and music.
Come join us as we reminisce about the beginnings of disco. College of DuPage professor Gary Wenstrup will talk about the sounds emanating from that year which would culminate the next year in a smash hit movie Saturday Night Fever (1977), known not for just the weightiness of its story, but the disco soundtrack that outlived and outperformed its source movie.
