## Resource

Statesman. Author. President of the United States. Perhaps no one's words best embodied the ethos of the Founding Fathers quite like Thomas Jefferson. At Constituting America, we feel what he wrote in the Declaration of Independence 250 years ago makes it one of the world's greatest documents of freedom ever written. To help us better understand Jefferson and his extraordinary enduring legacy, we are pleased to welcome back longtime Constituting America friend, Tony Williams. Tony is a senior fellow at the Bill of Rights Institute, senior fellow at Constituting America and a prolific author of such books as "Divided over the Declaration: How an Enduring Debate Sustains the Vision of America," co-authored with Dr. David J. Bobb.
