Why Calvin Coolidge Matters Today

Why Calvin Coolidge Matters Today

The Walker Lecture Series invites you to
Why Calvin Coolidge Matters Today
with Matthew Denhart, President of the Calvin Coolidge Presidential Foundation

A century after taking office, Calvin Coolidge stands as perhaps America’s most misunderstood and underappreciated president. Caricatured as “Silent Cal,” Coolidge is often dismissed as an accidental, do-nothing president. But a more careful study of history reveals a leader of remarkable substance who offers urgent lessons for our own age of inflation, exploding debt, and partisan rancor.

Coolidge restored trust and credibility to the presidency. He balanced the federal budget and lowered the national debt. He ushered in an era of American prosperity. And he proved to be a pioneer for civil rights. Coolidge showed that modesty, even in a president – especially in a president – can get results for the American people.

Join us for a feature presentation of the new documentary film: Coolidge: Rediscovering an American President. Following the film, Matthew Denhart, president of the Calvin Coolidge
Presidential Foundation will share his thoughts on “Why Calvin Coolidge Matters Today.”
