Eighty years ago, standing in a gymnasium at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, Winston Churchill spoke words that help shape the postwar world and defined the moral stakes of a new global era. "The Sinews of Peace" was more than a speech—it was a clarion call to uphold the principles of liberty and the defense of freedom.
Churchill's message remains vital today.
On March 5-7, we invite you to join us at America's National Churchill Museum on the campus of Westminster College as we commemorate this historic anniversary with exhibitions, programs, performances, and distinguished speakers who will explore the lasting relevance of Churchill's message. At a moment when the values he championed are again being tested, this milestone anniversary offers a timely opportunity to reflect, learn, and reaffirm our shared commitment to democratic ideals.
We hope you will be with us at Westminster College in Fulton as we honor history where it happened—and ensure its lessons continue to speak to current and future generations.
With kindest regards,
Timothy Riley
