Pat Embry, the new director of the John Seigenthaler Chair of Excellence in First Amendment Studies at MTSU, emphatically reads a portion of the U.S. Constitution Wednesday, Sept. 17, during a daylong Constitution Day celebration on campus. Behind Embry at the Bragg Communication Building, a group of students waits their turns to read the document. MTSU students, faculty, staff and volunteers participated in readings of the Constitution, voter registration drives and civic awareness activities across campus. (MTSU photo by Darby Campbell)
