Event: The Life and Legacy of William F. Buckley

In times of social upheaval and political acrimony, William F. Buckley was a icon of grace and civility. An author, commentator, journalist, and stalwart conservative, Buckley was best known as the founder of National Review magazine and as the host of the television show Firing Line.

Through these mediums, Buckley developed and communicated a unifying brand of conservatism, and successfully defended his vision against intellectual challenges. The key tenets of his political philosophy–strong national defense, limited government, free markets, and morality grounded in Judeo-Christian faith–are espoused today by politicians, think tanks, and student organizations such as Young Americans for Freedom, which Buckley helped found. Buckley was a class act and a consensus builder, whose ideas have shaped strategic institutions for decades.

Please join us at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, November 26, as The King’s College honors Buckley’s life and legacy in a discussion with Rich Lowry and panel guests. Lowry is the editor of National Review and a syndicated columnist whose work appears in Politico and Time. He is also a commentator for FOX News, and often appears on such public affairs programs as Meet the Press and The McLaughlin Group.

Additionally, Lowry is the author of Lincoln Unbound and Legacy: Paying the Price for the Clinton Years, a New York Times bestseller. He began his career as a research assistant for Charles Krauthammer. In 1997, he was selected by William F. Buckley to lead National Review.
