Thomas Jefferson Live

John Stewart has been deeply interested in the life of Thomas Jefferson ever since he was a student at the University of Virginia.

John has lectured on Jefferson's life and influence in American History to schools, civic groups and business audiences around Florida, and up the east coast, for over 30 years. Visit his website, thomasjeffersonlive.com, for more information.

Now, John portrays Jefferson in clothing, language, and ideas.  He will be speaking on “How a Lad from Rural Virginia Came to Write the Declaration of Independence”. He will go into some depth on Jefferson’s thinking and suitability for this watershed event in American history. An important part of his presentation takes the form of answering questions from the audience. You will be entertained by his convincing portrayal of Jefferson, as well as benefited from his extensive knowledge of Jefferson's life.

John’s commitment to the preservation of the lessons and examples of historic early American personalities is complimented by his work as past President of the Palm Beach and St. Petersburg Chapters of the Sons of the American Revolution, his work as state chair of the annual SAR Knight Essay Contest for high school students, and over 160 appearances before audiences large and small, and in classrooms, which focused on teaching the facts about the American Revolution and Thomas Jefferson. Another notable contribution of his is a teaching video by Jefferson requested by the Florida Dept. of Education for statewide classroom enrichment purposes.
