A Tale of Two Constitutions: New Hampshire and the Nation

Concord – On Tuesday September 16th at 7:00 pm in Sweeney Auditorium, NHTI will present the first of this season's free public Wings of Knowledge lectures, "A Tale of Two Constitutions: New Hampshire and the Nation." NHTI History Professor R. Stuart Wallace will take a fun look at both the New Hampshire and the federal constitutions. The final "chapter" of the American Revolution involved efforts by Americans to re-define themselves and in the process, draft constitutions for the states and the nation. This presentation is part of NHTI's celebration of Constitution Day, September 17th.

Launched in 2001-02, Wings of Knowledge is an annual series of cultural events sponsored by the NHTI Forum.
