Each year, the week of September 17 to 23 is set aside as “Constitution Week” to promote awareness of the United States Constitution. Through the entire month of September, Redwood Forest Chapter placed a display honoring this observance in the Humboldt County Library at 1313 Third Street in Eureka.

The resolution to celebrate Constitution Week was approved by President Dwight D. Eisenhower on August 2, 1956. Its aim is to “emphasize citizens’ responsibilities for protecting and defending the Constitution; to inform people that the Constitution is the basis of America’s heritage and foundation of our way of life; and to encourage the study of the events that led to the framing of the Constitution in September 1787.”

The Redwood Forest Chapter set up this display for everyone to become familiar with the Constitution. Constitution booklets, information on the Bill of Rights, flag codes and the Pledge of Allegiance were made available for free.
