What is Constitution Day?
Today, September 17, we recognize Constitution Day and Citizenship Day.
On September 17, 1787, delegates to the Constitutional Convention signed the United States Constitution in Philadelphia. Beginning with the powerful words “We the People,” the Constitution established the framework of our government and outlined the rights and freedoms that continue to shape our nation today.
More than two centuries later, Constitution Day gives us an opportunity to reflect on the principles of citizenship, civic participation, and the rights and responsibilities we share.
At Venture X Downtown Columbia, we’re proud to be a community of entrepreneurs, professionals, organizations, and neighbors who bring different ideas and perspectives together every day.
Today, we celebrate the spirit of “We the People” and the role each of us plays in building strong businesses, strong communities, and a strong future.
We encourage everyone to find one small way to get involved, support a neighbor, or make a positive difference in our community today.
