In addition, Franklin’s Opus will host an annual conference to discuss how best to promote History Education.  Franklin’s Opus will also publish an annual journal to discuss History Education in the nation. Franklin’s Opus will serve as an ardent advocate for History Education in all levels of education, in government, and also in the general culture.
