Constitution Day image featuring American flag and U.S. Capitol buildingIn the United States, Constitution Day (also known as Constitution and Citizenship Day) is observed annually on September 17. This marks the date that delegates to the Constitutional Convention held in Philadelphia in 1787 submitted their final version of the U.S. Constitution for signature.

To commemorate the momentous occasion, the Library is highlighting the resources available on the U.S. Constitution as well as other founding documents in American history and government. These include the Declaration of Independence, the Federalist Papers, the Emancipation Proclamation and other key works in the African American freedom struggle, and important documents on Indigenous Peoples' rights and justice.

Please check out our library guide to the Constitution and other founding documents. Here you'll also find information about South Carolina's REACH Act, legislation enacted in 2021 to ensure undergraduate education on America's constitutional heritage.

Righting a Wrong: Japanese Americans and World War II 

Poster Exhibit
Viewing: September 6th - December 9th, 2022
USC Upstate Library Portico

The USC Upstate Library is pleased to host the Smithsonian poster exhibition in collaboration with Preface, the USC Upstate first-year reading program. Preface introduces Upstate students to the joy of reading critically and using academic disciplines and methods to approach complex issues in our communities, nation, and world. In Fall 2022, first-year writing students are reading They Called Us Enemy by George Takei.

The exhibition examines the complicated history and impact of Executive Order 9066 that led to the incarceration of Japanese Americans following the attack on Pearl Harbor. “Righting a Wrong” examines issues such as immigration, prejudice, civil rights, heroism, and what it means to be an American. The exhibition centers around eight core questions that encourage viewers to engage in a dialogue about how this happened and whether it could happen again. “Righting a Wrong: Japanese Americans and World War II” was developed by the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History and adapted for travel by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Services (SITES). The traveling exhibition and poster exhibition are supported by a grant from the Asian Pacific American Initiatives Pool, administered by the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center, the Terasaki Family Foundation, and C. L. Ehn & Ginger Lew.
