On Sept. 17 of this year, Collin College will join the nation in celebrating this important founding document with an event called “America Divided: The Left, The Right, Trumpism, and the Contemporary Political Landscape” at 11:30 a.m. at the conference center at the McKinney Campus (Central Park), 2200 W.
