About this Event

George Mason of Virginia may have been one of the most important founders of American democracy. So why don’t we know much about him? Could it be that in spite of being an important delegate to the Constitutional Convention of 1787, he refused to add his name? Come learn why this simple act of classic American defiance brought us many of the freedoms we cherish the most.
