Education

 

"I would therefore call upon Congress to take all the means within their constitutional powers to promote and encourage popular education throughout the country."

- President Ulysses S. Grant, in his message to Congress on the ratification of the 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

The General Grant National Memorial is not just a place to learn about the tribute paid to President and General Grant by a grateful nation, but also a place to learn about his role in shaping our society.
