America 250: The Verdict Is? Tuesday, February 10, 2026 | 7:00–9:00 pm

As the United States approaches the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, this timely program invites the public to reflect on the promise of justice and accountability in America today. Presented in partnership with the Black Heritage Society of Washington State, America 250: The Verdict Is? honors the trailblazing legacy of Black judges in Washington State and highlights those continuing to advocate for fair and equitable treatment under the law.

Through conversation and reflection, the program asks a critical question: 250 years later, where do we stand in the court of public opinion when it comes to due process and equal justice?
