Testimonial

“I’d read about the work Hillsdale was doing on the statesmanship of Winston Churchill as well as its steadfast defense of the Constitution and our founding principles. I went to learn about these things. And I did. I got so much more than I bargained for from this program. It was worth every effort, every sacrifice, and every hour of lost sleep.”
