Free Live Webcast of Two-Day Colloquium
Washington, D.C. — Hillsdale College and its Allan P. Kirby, Jr. Center for Constitutional Studies and Citizenship in Washington, D.C., announced they are hosting a two-day program that commemorates the September 17, 1787, signing of the Constitution, and celebrates its foundational principles. A free live webcast of the Constitution Day Colloquium is available at www.constitutiondaycelebration.com.
“At a time when the Constitution is largely ignored in Washington, it is vital for citizens to remember its enduring principles,” said Hillsdale College President Dr. Larry P. Arnn. “This colloquium will discuss how those principles have been undermined, and how they can be recovered. Hillsdale College’s Kirby Center is dedicated to their recovery.”
The program will consist of panel discussions, debates, and featured presentations, each of which will be followed by questions from the audience and nearly 13,000 online participants already registered.
Featured speakers include author and syndicated columnist George F. Will, author and journalist Richard Brookhiser, political commentator Michael Barone, and Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol. Topics to be covered include the following:
Free Markets, Regulation and the Constitution
Howard Zinn and Civic Education
Tea Party Constitutionalism
Founding Father: George Washington
How to Interpret the Constitution
Civil Liberties and Islamic Terrorism
The Constitution and the 2010 Elections
