SHEPHERDSTOWN - For the past 20 years, Constitution Day has been celebrated in Shepherdstown, with a guest speaker presenting a Tom E. Moses Memorial Lecture in the Robert C. Byrd Center for Congressional History & Education.

Established by Moses's children in 2005, the annual lecture series honors the legacy of their father, who was a longtime supporter of the U.S. Constitution. He dedicated much of his life to his work as a civil libertarian, activist and founder of the Eastern Panhandle branch of the ACLU-WV.

This year's lecture will be presented by someone Moses would likely have been a big fan of - attorney and former U.S. Sen. Carte Goodwin (D-WV), who was appointed to complete the last four months of Sen. Robert Byrd's term, following Byrd's death on June 28, 2010.
