Dear John,

Tomorrow is Constitution Day. On that day in 1787, Congress signed the document that outlined our best hope of structuring enduring freedom. Today, 233 years later, our Constitution faces a crisis of confidence. Many Americans no longer believe that its founding principles are worth preserving.

This lack of faith is disturbing, but not surprising. The New York Times' 1619 Project and associated curricula disseminated by the Pulitzer Center bear much of the blame for this unraveling.

To combat this polemical narrative of oppression, shorn of nuance, context, or historical accuracy, The National Association of Scholars is hosting a week-long, online conference.

Will you join us in defending the Constitution? ([link removed][UNIQID])

"Slavery or Freedom: The Conception of America" ([link removed][UNIQID]) addresses how we understand and teach America’s founding: should we place the ideals of liberty or the institution of slavery as the foundation of American history? Register here to watch the rest of this week's events live. ([link removed][UNIQID])

Tomorrow at 11 am ET, we will hear from Robert L. Paquette, President and Executive Director of The Alexander Hamilton Institute for the Study of Western Civilization, on "What Makes American Slavery Distinctive?"

At 2 pm ET, Kevin R. C. Gutzman, Jason Ross, and Joseph Fornieri will join us for a moderated discussion on "American Ideals."
