Courting History

posted on

Troy Kickler, Director of the North Carolina History Project,
spoke at a Teacher’s Workshop at the Friday Center for Continuing
Studies at UNC-CH.  The workshop, sponsored by the Jesse Helms Center
and Hillsdale College, gave Kickler the opportunity to present the goal
of the History Project: to present the untold story of classical
liberalism and constitutional republicanism in our state’s
history.  And it’s not just the historian of the JLF who’s helping
to tell an often-overlooked view of history.  The Pope Center’s George Leef‘s
recent book, “A History of the Right to Work Movement” was noted as
being “a valuable examination of one of the oldest ‘single-issue’
policy groups in what has become the conservative movement” by Robert
Huberty in Labor Watch.  Meanwhile JLF is making history as we launched our Southeastern initiative in Wilmington with our special guest Fred Barnes of the Weekly Standard.  The Star News had something to say on the affair.
