The Enid and R. Crosby Kemper Lectureship at America's National Churchill Museum was established in 1979 by a grant from the Enid and R. Crosby Kemper Foundation of Kansas City, Missouri. It is intended to provide for lectures by authorities on history, Winston Churchill, and his legacy in today's world.
On May 3-5, 2019, America's National Churchill Museum on the campus of Westminster College celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the re-dedication of the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Aldermanbury. This 1969 event marked the end of the relocation and restoration of the bombed out London church in Fulton, Missouri, and the beginning of a memorial to Winston Churchill on the site of his significant 1946 Iron Curtain, or Sinews of Peace, speech.

Piper needs more training, but awfully great to hear Andrew again.
Andrew Roberts and Martin Gilbert are the greatest Churchill historians
wonderful sound quality. What an honor and delight to see Andrew Roberts in such a historic place. Very nice tribute to Martin Gilbert.
Love the Churchill humor. Just love hearing Andrew's charming voice!
too bad the Ribbentrop story is apocryphal. My father and grandfather quoted it many times!
The bos om quip was masterly
Talk actually starts after 20 minutes of noise, just skip ahead.
No offence intended but playing the pipes really requires a Scottish regiment.
20 minutes to get to the speakers.
Ah yes, nothing says Churchillian humor like mournful bagpipes followed by twenty minutes of introductory speeches.
My thoughts precisely...!
There's an amazing invention called the mouse, which clicks ahead..
Thank god the bagpiper stopped.
Because genocide of 3 million is "funny"? Sick
Dude take your meds 😂😂😂
