Bartow History Museum: Documents of Freedom

Description

Joe Head to Discuss Documents of Freedom

The Bartow History Museum welcomes Joe Head to the upcoming Lunch & Learn program on Wednesday, September 16, 2015. Head will discuss some of this country’s formative documents and the role of the penmen who created them in a program he calls “The pen is mightier than the sword.”

This program coincides with the nationally recognized Constitution Week, which honors America’s most important document. Constitution Week was the result of a petition to Congress made by the Daughters of the American Revolution in 1955. Among the aims creating this annual recognition was the encouragement to study the events that led to the framing and writing of the U.S. Constitution in September 1787.

Head will take a look at the Constitution and other important national documents while discussing their significance and how calligraphy was the tool used to deliver the concepts of freedom.

Lunch & Learn will take place on September 16, at noon. Guests are invited to bring a lunch and the doors will open at 11:45 a.m. The Bartow History Museum is located at 4 E. Church Street in downtown Cartersville. The lecture is free to members and included with the price of admission for not-yet members.
