America Celebrates the 800th Anniversary of Magna Carta
Magna Carta World Heritage launches National Campaign to donate the Magna Carta 800th Anniversary Edition to every school and college across America.
BOCA RATON, Fla., Feb. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Magna Carta World Heritage LLC announced today its goal to donate a Magna Carta 800th Anniversary Edition to every school and college across America as part of its "AMERICA CELEBRATES THE MAGNA CARTA campaign. "It will offer all the 80 million students the opportunity to understand and appreciate the document that inspired the American Declaration of Independence and forms the basis of the US legal system today," stated Magna Carta World Heritage CEO, Laura Kevehazi.
Sealed in 1215 at Runnymede, England, Magna Carta will celebrate its 800th Anniversary on June 15, 2015. The Magna Carta became the most important charter of human rights in history, the basis of the US Constitution, and – as the foundation of democracy in the world – it is the most celebrated document on both sides of the Atlantic.
Kevehazi further stated: "We're excited to make this document relevant to the young generation - tomorrow's voters, to help educate them to understand and value the importance of the laws, rights and liberties, enshrined in the Constitution. We welcome sponsorships and donations to help our campaign."
The Magna Carta 800th Anniversary Edition is a fine art rendering of an authentic Magna Carta document including the original 1215 Latin text and the Coats of Arms of the 25 Barons that forced King John in 1215 to accept this document.
For every four 800th Anniversary Editions purchased through the company website, one will be donated to a selected school.
