Interview with Peter Wood, President of the National Association of Scholars
Peter W. Wood is President of the National Association of Scholars, a network committed to academic freedom, scholarship, and excellence in American higher education. In addition to his scholarly work, Dr. Wood has published hundreds of articles in print and online journals. He is an anthropologist and author of the recently published book, 1620: A Critical Response to the 1619 Project.
This one-hour webinar commemorates the 400th anniversary of the signing of the Mayflower Compact and landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock, in present day Massachusetts. Their faith in God, pursuit of religious freedom, and commitment to overcome differences and work together were foundational for their fledgling colony in the New World.
You will learn about the background, journey, sacrifices, and purpose for the Pilgrims coming to America. Renowned scholars and authors Dr. Peter Wood and Lawrence Reed will discuss the unique content and timing of the Mayflower Compact, and its influence on the founding of our country and writing of the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution more than 150 years later. Former Lieutenant Governor of Alaska, Loren Leman, will moderate the discussion.
This program is designed for students, parents, grandparents, public officials, teachers, and clergy to be reminded of why and how people desiring to be free have created and prospered under representative democracy, the proper role of faith, why these are important, and worth defending.
This event is sponsored by long-time freedom-loving Alaskans Eugene Harnett and Loren & Carolyn Leman, as well as the generosity of our guest speakers.
