Today, Americans observe Presidents’ Day, originally established in 1885 to commemorate the first president of our great country: President George Washington.
The story of this unique holiday dates back to the earliest days of our republic. After Washington’s death in 1799, his February 22nd birthday would become the iconic day of remembrance.
While several states still have individual holidays honoring the birthdays of Washington, Abraham Lincoln and other figures, Presidents’ Day is now popularly considered a special time to celebrate all U.S. presidents, past and present.
In this special NEW episode of Legal-Ease, watch FLI’s Lathan Watts explain the significance of this day as it relates to religious liberty. He shares how Washington, Lincoln and Reagan all relied on their religious beliefs as a source of encouragement while leading the nation through difficult times.
So, take just a moment to learn how our nation’s presidents have publicly acknowledged and written about the central role of faith in a free society.
Defending the legacy of America’s Founders starts by knowing, loving and living our Constitution.
Today, enemies of freedom mistakenly blame the Constitution for our nation’s problems. But the truth is, our Constitution is not the problem—it’s the solution. Going back to the original principles and ideals—such as religious liberty—is how we can continue to keep our country’s promise to future generations.
Let’s go back to the original intent of the Founding Fathers—back to the Constitution.
