Item Title Service for the New Era of Big Citizens
Speaker Wofford, Harris
Date CreatedFebruary 27, 1997
Description

Wofford speaks about national, domestic service by young people. He outlines the history of the Peace Corps and AmeriCorps and their roots in the Franklin Roosevelt and Kennedy administrations. He says that in a nation where President Clinton declared "the era of big government is over," universal service from the young will have to come from individual big organizations, offering schools as a good place to start. He says part of education should be the idea of service.
