NHCS-TV Partners with Daughters of the American Revolution to Present The History of the U.S. Constitution Beginning January 5th

New Hanover County Schools-TV and the Stamp Defiance Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) are proud to present The History of the U.S. Constitution educational series beginning Monday, January 5, 2015. This exciting and thought-provoking series begins with the first English colonists to arrive in North America. The documentary examines the colonists’ achievements in developing forms of representative government that led to the writing of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. During the course of this eight-part documentary, viewers discover just how these documents have protected the American people from the abuses of power and tyranny and how the principles set forth by the U.S. Constitution have empowered Americans to excel and aspire to greatness for over two centuries.

This educational series is made possible by the generous financial support of the Stamp Defiance Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The chapter is dedicated to historical preservation, promotion of education and the encouragement of patriotic endeavor. DAR promotes American history throughout the year by honoring historically significant people, places and events. They also support a variety of educational programs, contests and awards and encourage family history research.

Hosted by actor Jeff Fahey, the History of the U.S. Constitution will air beginning Monday, January 5, 2015, on The Learning Network, Time Warner Cable Channel 5 and Charter Cable Channel 191 on Mondays at 8:00 p.m., Wednesdays at 10:00 a.m., and Fridays at 6:30 p.m.
