On this President’s Day weekend, as we honor the sacrifices of two of America’s grestest revolutionary leaders, the Institute invites you to join in an engaging forum on the driving principles behind America’s experiment in democracy. Together in discussion let us “renew the universal vision behind the American Dream” and open invisible gateways that can lead us towards an “ever-evolving Republic of Conscience.”
