Obviously, it\u2019s a founding document. It\u2019s impressive. It\u2019s unique in the world, and other people model their countries and the designs of their governments after it,\u201d Benesh said. \u201cBut it was also created a long time ago, when we had some very different perceptions about who should be involved.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"alignright uwm-c-img--right\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/letters-science\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/255\/2024\/03\/Sara-Benesh-225x300.webp\" alt=\"A headshot of a white woman with jaw-length blond hair.

Playwright Heidi Schreck uses the production to explore how her views and relationship to the document evolve as she ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The play is both an entertaining watch and a thoughtful civics lesson, but Suze Falk thought it could also be a community conversation starter. Falk, who uses they\/them pronouns, is the engagement coordinator for the Milwaukee Rep. It\u2019s their job to get people thinking about plays and their meanings beyond being an audience member. What if, Falk thought, they asked the entire city of Milwaukee the question the characters grapple with in the play?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI mean, we\u2019re in Wisconsin; we\u2019re in a swing state. A lot of people, depending on their backgrounds and their life experiences, have many different opinions,\u201d Falk said. \u201cWe want to have a lot of different voices. And we also want to celebrate the community of Milwaukee and we want them to feel like their voices are being heard in our space.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"alignright uwm-c-img--right\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"251\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/letters-science\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/255\/2024\/03\/Suze-Falk-251x300.webp\" alt=\"A headshot young white woman with shoulder-length brown hair leaning against the wall of a building.\" class=\"wp-image-27502\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/letters-science\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/255\/2024\/03\/Suze-Falk-251x300.webp 251w, https:\/\/uwm.edu\/letters-science\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/255\/2024\/03\/Suze-Falk.webp 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 251px) 100vw, 251px\" \/><figcaption>Suze Falk<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So, they decided to make a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.milwaukeerep.com\/202324\/constitution-interviews\/\">video series<\/a> in which community members answered the play\u2019s titular question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was just one problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAsking people was easy; getting people actually to come in and answer the question was hard,\u201d Falk laughed. But they eventually managed to pull together some volunteers \u2013 faith leaders, people in city government, business owners, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But then Falk ran into another problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe were seeing the people that were showing up and it was a lot of older people and white people,\u201d they said. \u201cI was like, how are we going to get more diverse opinions from diverse people and a (greater) age range?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then they remembered: \u201cThere\u2019s a college right here in town!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Falk reached out to Benesh, hoping to talk with students who might be familiar with the Constitution. Several 51ÁÔÆæ students agreed to appear on video, including Reid Lancaster, Mya Smith, Kain Pearson, Sophie Shaw, and Jacob Miller. Falk and a videographer visited campus, asked pointed questions, and filmed the student\u2019s responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They varied, as expected. Kain Pearson, for instance, pointed out how many Americans are unfamiliar with the document upon which their country is founded. \u201cA lot of people, including myself, are not really informed on what exactly the Constitution entails,\u201d he said in <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/W3NAbUG5OCM?si=yhYSfYG1sbFwOaiF\">his video<\/a>. \u201cI think that we\u2019re failing ourselves in upholding the Constitution.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One student pointed out how she felt left out of the national conversation: \u201cAs a Black woman, for a long time, the Constitution has never really represented my identity,\u201d Mya Smith said in <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/BUKHGKgONF4?si=MiYBvmCo9fsplTPh\">one of the videos<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/uX7Dm9d110U?si=2RrUS1YXKBWQMPOO\">Reid Lancaster<\/a> admired its framework as a founding document, while <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/p5nr4LdUWSc?si=oSoOEndAeSJFtUAn\">Sophie Shaw<\/a> speculated that if given the chance, she would make it easier to add amendments so that the Constitution could address the needs of a modern society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While talking with the students, Falk noticed a recurring theme: Gen Z thought the Constitution isn\u2019t \u201cpromoting the general welfare\u201d of all of its citizens, falling short of the lofty goal in its Preamble. But though they were cynical about its execution, most of them were hopeful for its future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Constitution, to me, is a promise that has not been kept. Historically, I think people look at America as this process of realizing the words in the Preamble. Sadly, the Preamble has no legal force,\u201d Jacob Miller said in <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/p5nr4LdUWSc?si=oSoOEndAeSJFtUAn\">his video<\/a>. \u201c(But) I would say that there might be a point in time where we could, in the future, say that now these promises are being kept.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Falk said the student\u2019 answers made them feel optimistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI loved the entire process of interviewing the students. They are so smart. They are so eloquent,\u201d Falk added. \u201cI think that we as a society don\u2019t give college students a lot of credit, but I think we also forget that college students have been at the center of so many social movements, and they\u2019ve been the blood and the life of all of them. Seeing them, I was thinking, that\u2019s our future. We\u2019re going to be okay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Milwaukee Rep\u2019s video series will be archived online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But now that you\u2019ve read about their answers, Falk, Pearson, and the other 51ÁÔÆæ students pose the question: What does the Constitution mean to <em>you<\/em>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>By Sarah Vickery, College of Letters &amp; Science<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Milwaukee Repertory Theater has a question: What does the Constitution mean to you? 51ÁÔÆæ political science professor Sara Benesh has an answer: \u201cI think it\u2019s a document that\u2019s a real source of pride for our country.
