How and when did corporations become people? Special Public Presentation: The Southern Pacific Railroad v. Santa Clara County

Saturday, September 21, 2019, 12:00 – 2:00 PM
This is the case that first granted corporations constitutional right, and hence personhood status. Join us for a historical dive into this little known but extraordinarily significant Supreme Court case. We will discuss what sparked the dispute, its mysterious ruling, and how it led to the infamous Citizens United v. FEC case in 2010. All are invited for this free event.  Location: First Unitarian Universalist Church, 93 W. Weisheimer Road, Columbus, Ohio, 43214. Site is accessible. Bus #2 N. High Street. Light refreshments provided.  For more information, contact sbolzenius72@hotmail.com.
