On Friday, April 24, Professor John Mikhail of Georgetown Law presented a lecture on the legacy of JWI’s namesake, James Wilson, titled: “James Wilson: The Man Who Wrote ‘We the People’ and Inspired the Declaration.” The lecture was the kickoff event for our programs commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence as part of a prestigious Chairman’s Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
We have included the full video here for anyone who was not able to attend or simply wants to revisit the lecture.
