    Center Commemorates Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial with Supplemental Lesson

    In honor of the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth, the Center is offering a downloadable eight-page lesson for high school students titled "What Was Abraham Lincoln's Legacy to American Constitutionalism and Citizenship?" The lesson, written by John J. Patrick, Professor Emeritus of Education at Indiana University, supplements the We the People: The Citizen & the Constitution text. The lesson traces the rise of Lincoln from his humble beginnings to the presidency. It also examines Lincoln's ideas and decisions regarding slavery and the use of presidential power to preserve the Federal Union during the Civil War. The lesson was made possible by a grant from the Motorola Foundation. Download or view the pdf by clicking here. Watch a video about the lesson by clicking here.

    Center Editorial Featured on Public Diplomacy Blog
    mountainrunner.us - Dec 23, 2008

    "Democracy Building That Works," an article written by the Center's executive director, Charles N. Quigley, has been selected as a featured guest editorial on the public diplomacy blog MountainRunner. Blogger Matthew C. Armstrong, a strategic communications consultant and graduate of the University of Southern California's Masters of Public Diplomacy program, explores the struggle for minds and wills of men and women in the 21st century.

    In his editorial, Quigley makes the case for international civic education programs like those promoted by the Center. These programs provide a cost-effective way to promote democratic citizenship and civic responsibility among young people, as well as improve international goodwill and mutual understanding through the involvement and exchange of educators from the United States and other countries.
