This Is Our Constitution

This Is Our Constitution traces the journey of Khizr Khan, the Gold Star father and Democratic National Convention speaker, who grew up in Pakistan without many of the fundamental rights enshrined in the U.S. Constitution and immigrated to America, where he became a citizen and developed a deep, personal passion for the document's guarantees. Khan walks young readers article by article through the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and key Supreme Court decisions, weaving in his own reflections as both an immigrant and a lawyer. This is an outstanding civics resource for students because it pairs a clear, accessible explanation of how the Constitution works with a deeply personal immigrant perspective on why its protections matter.
