The 50-ton marble tablet, engraved with the 45 words of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, was displayed on the four-story-high, 74-foot-tall Pennsylvania Avenue façade of the Newseum, a nonprofit museum founded by the Freedom Forum and dedicated to the five freedoms of the First Amendment. Work has begun to remove the stone pieces from the building, which was sold to Johns Hopkins University after the Newseum closed in 2019. The tablet remained the property of the Freedom Forum, and will be a gift to the National Constitution Center. The tablet will be reconfigured and emplaced along a 100-foot-wide wall on the National Constitution Center’s Grand Hall Overlook, the second-floor atrium overlooking historic Independence Mall. “We are thrilled to bring this heroic marble tablet of the First Amendment to the National Constitution Center, to inspire visitors from across America and around the world for generations to come,” said National Constitution Center President and CEO Jeffrey Rosen. “It’s so meaningful to bring

    CARNEGIE CORPORATION OF NEW YORK ORAL HISTORY PROJECT The Reminiscences of Christopher Callahan Columbia Center for Oral History Columbia University 2013 PREFACE The following oral history is the result of a recorded interview with Christopher Callahan conducted by Myron A. Farber on April 22, 2013 and April 23, 2013. This interview is part of the Carnegie Corporation of New York Oral History Project. The reader is asked to bear in mind that s/he is reading a verbatim transcript of the spoken word, rather than written prose. 3PM Session #1 Interviewee: Christopher Callahan Location: Phoenix, AZ Interviewer: Myron Farber Date: April 22, 2013 Q: This is Myron Farber on April 22, 2013, interviewing Christopher Callahan at the [Walter] Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication in Phoenix for the Carnegie Corporation of New York Oral History [Project] conducted by Columbia University. Do you mind if I call you Chris? Callahan: Please. Q: Easier. Easier. You know, I noticed some comment by Susan [R.] King—who you’ll know from the Carnegie [Corporation] is now going to [University of] North Carolina, I think as a dean [of the School of Journalism and Mass Communication]—that when she encountered all these happy faculty faces out here in Phoenix at your school, she was told that, “Why not? The sun always shines here.” And I think that we should note that we’re doing this interview in something like 96-degree weather here. The sun is completely shining. There are no clouds in the sky. And I suppose everybody is still happy. [Laughter] Callahan: Yes but we don’t bring guests out in the middle of summer.
