A key initiative of the Morris Family Center for Law & Liberty is to promote the study of American History and our nation’s Founding Principles to students, educators, civic organizations, and business leaders. We host constitutional academies for Houston-area students, lectures for civics groups, and workshops for teachers. We want to endow these educational programs to reach as many Texans as possible and welcome the opportunity to network with local organizations who can make this outreach possible.

Have a need for a guest speaker at your next event? Our faculty would love to connect with you.
