Richard Moe Gave Commencement Address
Richard Moe spoke at Commencement on May 10 at 10 am on the Townhouse Green. Mr. Moe is the Commission chair for the College's neighbor, Historic St. Mary's City. He is also president of the National Historic Trust and has directed it for the past 15 years. The mission of the Trust is to keep a watchful eye on what should be physically saved as part of our American heritage and make sure that it doesn’t fall under the wrecking ball. Mr. Moe has been responsible for protecting – among other national treasures – Abraham Lincoln’s summer home just outside Washington; the bus on which Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat in 1955; and the large, historic campus of St. Elizabeths Hospital in Washington. Recently, Mr. Moe has also turned his attention to the manner is which we are degrading the environment around us and has urged us to take specific steps in order to improve it for our children.
