Join us for a lecture by Michael Farris, a distinguished attorney, educator, and public advocate whose career has been dedicated to constitutional law, educational freedom, and civic engagement. As the founder of the Home School Legal Defense Association and Patrick Henry College, and a veteran advocate before state and federal courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court, Farris brings decades of experience to his examination of America's founding principles. Drawing on his extensive work in law, public policy, and constitutional advocacy, he will explore the enduring significance of the Declaration of Independence and its relevance to civic life today.
