October 27th Celebrates The Importance Of Civic Education All Across America. National Civics Day on October 27th honors the same day in 1787 when the first Federalist Papers were published and used as a philosophical basis for America’s Constitution. These Papers mark an important foundation of civic education and discourse in our country. National Civics Day is an opportunity for Americans to answer the call by President John F. Kennedy that “democracy is never a final achievement… It is a call to an untiring effort.” Americans in all 50 states will have the opportunity to learn, act and serve in their community as informed and engaged citizens.
