"As one of America’s leading think tanks, the Claremont Institute has made invaluable contributions to the history of American conservative thought," remarked President Trump while awarding Claremont the National Humanities Medal earlier this month. "Claremont educates, reminds, and informs Americans about the founding principles that have made our country the greatest nation anywhere on earth."
We are both humbled and grateful to President Trump and the National Endowment for the Humanities Chairman Peede for recognizing our work with this prestigious honor. For full video of Trump's remarks, we invite you to watch here.
