Summary: The National Constitution Center presents a special Veterans Day, 2010 roundtable conversation about the importance of active citizenship with Alan Khazei, co-founder of City Year and author of the new book Big Citizenship: How Pragmatic Idealism Can Bring Out the Best in America. In a political environment often bogged down by petty bickering and cynicism, Khazei prescribes a way to bridge differences and effect powerful change. Joining Khazei in the discussion is former United States Senator Harris Wofford, Associate Director of the Peace Corps from 1962-1966, and David Eisner, President & CEO of the National Constitution Center and former CEO of the Corporation for National and Community Service.
