Video and a Constitution Display part of JWCC’s Celebration of Upcoming Constitution Week
John Wood Community College will honor local and national first responders and the freedoms they protect as part of rights afforded to all citizens through the United States Constitution on Monday, September 11.
JWCC has received permission from the 9-11 Memorial and Museum to be a viewing site for the organization’s annual Anniversary film. This year’s film honoring the sacrifice of first responders and their families will be premiered locally in JWCC’s Heath Center auditorium area (Rooms D024/25) on Monday, September 11, at 12:30 p.m. The event is open to first responders from area EMS, police, fire, and other supporting agencies as well as the greater community.
The viewing was made possible through a collaboration with JWCC’s criminal justice program and the Quincy Police Department. In addition to the film, JWCC currently has two exhibits on display to commemorate Constitution Day (Sept. 17) The first display is in the library. The second display is courtesy of the Quincy Chapter of the Daughters of the Revolution located on the main floor.
Constitution Day is a Federal holiday commemorating the signing of the U.S. Constitution on September 17, 1787, which is the world’s longest surviving written charter of government. This day commemorates the signing of the U.S. Constitution and recognizes all American citizens.
JWCC encourages all citizens to check out some of the great resources to help us learn more about our constitution on the United States Census Bureau’s website.
