Founded by visionary Walter Hussman Jr., the Center is leading the fight to restore the values of neutrality and objectivity in journalism. It was an extraordinary evening, and I wanted to share just a few pictures of our beautiful Library of Congress.

Walking out of this magnificent building, we were struck by the beauty of Washington at night.
Here are just a few pictures:
