As the prophet of American conservatism, Russell Kirk has taught, nurtured, and inspired a generation. From . . . Piety Hill, he reached deep into the roots of American values, writing and editing central works of political philosophy. His intellectual contribution has been a profound act of patriotism. I look forward to the future with anticipation that his work will continue to exert a profound influence in the defense of our values and our cherished civilization.
Very grateful to have been awarded one of this year's Richard D. McLellan Prizes. The @KirkCenter's support for my historical work on First Amendment litigation, as well the scholarship of the other honorees, including Eugene Volokh (@HooverInst), is invaluable.
Don't miss meeting and hearing from our new Free Speech Fellows in person! Along with special guests on November 19 at the National Press Club.
