Eighty years ago, on March 5, 1946, history was made when Winston Churchill delivered his iconic \u201cThe Sinews of Peace\u201d address, also known as the Churchill Iron Curtain Speech, on the campus of Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri. To honor this landmark anniversary, America\u2019s National Churchill Museum (ANCM) invites you to a series of special events exploring Churchill\u2019s enduring legacy and modern relevance, culminating in our Fellows Weekend and the Enid and R.
