Dr. Sean Busick, assistant professor of history at Athens State University, will be the keynote speaker at ASU’s Constitution Day program at 2 p.m. Thursday in McCandless Hall.
Busick is the author of “A Sober Desire for History: William Gilmore Simms as Historian.”
The free annual forum is open to the public and celebrates the freedoms bestowed upon all Americans through the signing of the famous statute.
Busick regularly teaches classes on the Revolution, and has published several essays on the founding era. Before joining the faculty at Athens State, he taught American Constitution and Legal History at Brevard College. In addition, Busick has served as partner scholar for the Bill of Rights Institute.
“Athens State annually provides the community with an educational and needed program commemorating Constitution Day, an important date in our country's history that is sometimes overlooked,” said Athens State President Bob Glenn. “This year, I am pleased to have one of our own faculty members as the speaker. Dr. Busick’s background and knowledge makes him the perfect fit to take the podium on Thursday.”
