Legislative Tactics and Strategies of William Wilberforce: Making the Unseen Seen

This spring, Faith and Law’s House, Senate and Intern Reading Groups will be studying “William Wilberforce: A Man Who Changed His Times,” a booklet published by The Trinity Forum.

As we continue to learn more about the life of Wilberforce, we invite all Reading Groups to come together for a special seminar on his legislative tactics led by Marc Wheat, General Counsel at Advancing American Freedom.

Lunch will be served. Please RSVP to ensure we order sufficient food.
