Fred Barnes to Speak at Founders Day CelebrationFred Barnes, executive editor of “The Weekly Standard” and co-host of The Beltway Boys on Fox News, will deliver a lecture as part of the Founders Day Celebration for the Jesse Helms Center.

The lecture will take place Thursday, October 4 at 2:00 p.m. at the Recital Hall in the Batte Fine Arts Center on the campus of Wingate University. Admission is free, and the lecture is open to the general public.

The Founders Day Celebration is part of the 20th Anniversary of the Jesse Helms Center and honors the day Senator Jesse Helms signed a letter of intent to donate his personal and professional papers to Wingate University, which led to the establishment of the Jesse Helms Center. Senator Helms’ papers and memorabilia were sought by a number of major universities.

Dr. Paul Corts, former president of Wingate University, will be honored during the Founders Day Celebration for his role in establishing the Jesse Helms Center. Dr. Corts currently serves as the president of the Council for Christian and College Universities.

Why did Senator Helms give his papers to Wingate? During the Depression, a young Jesse Helms did not have the money to attend then Wingate Junior College. The story goes that school officials approached his family and said, “Come anyway, we know you will pay us back someday.”

The gift of Senator Helms’ papers has resulted in the establishment of an internationally acclaimed lecture series, a state-of-the-art conference and meeting facility, and programs that have impacted thousands of young people.

The A.J. Fletcher Building, dedicated in 2001 by Lady Margaret Thatcher, houses the Senator’s papers and is headquarters for the Jesse Helms Center Foundation. The Senator’s collection consists of over two million items and includes everything from historical memorabilia to hand-written letters from Presidents and Heads of State.
