What he wrote and what he did about the nature of society and government, the relations of man to government, the meaning of republicanism and democracy, the significance of education is as relevant today as it was in the eighteenth century."

Editor Eleni Papagiannis has matched Russ Finley s graceful cinematography with inspiring music to produce what is probably the best Monticello music video you ve ever seen.
