Join us as we step back to 1776 and explore a pivotal moment in American history through the eyes of a young James Monroe.
On his 18th birthday, April 28, 1776, Monroe was preparing to take up arms in the Revolutionary War, driven by a fierce sense of patriotism and hope for a new nation. We’ll dive into his early life, the challenges he faced as a teen soldier, and how these formative experiences shaped the fifth President of the United States. Don’t miss this inspiring story of courage, youth, and the birth of a nation.
Constitutional Chats are hosted by Janine Turner, Cathy Gillespie, student ambassadors, and experts who join us weekly to discuss hot-topic issues! The audience is not on camera, but you may ask questions!
