Dr. Gary L. Gregg, Director of the McConnell Center at the University of Louisville, brought students from the McConnell Center to the Russell Kirk Center on Labor Day weekend to discuss Russell Kirk’s book The Conservative Mind on the 60th anniversary of its publication. Speakers at the seminar titled “Is there a Conservative Mind for the 21st Century?” included Annette Kirk, Dr. Gleaves Whitney, and Dr. Vigen Guroian. This short video from the McConnell Center captures some of the weekend.
