Who better to explore the legacy of President Gerald R. Ford than Richard Norton Smith? Author of An Ordinary Man, the definitive biography of our 38th President, Smith will be joined by interlocutor and Foundation trustee Hank Meijer for an evening of lively, thoughtful conversation.
Together they’ll revisit Ford’s leadership during the American Bicentennial of 1976. While in the White House, Ford framed the nation’s anniversary in a moment that demanded steadiness, humility, and trust.
As America approaches its 250th birthday, Smith and Meijer will explore the enduring lessons and bracing questions that Ford’s legacy raises about character, constitutional self-government, and national renewal.
