More than 20 years ago - in his closing argument in the Senate Impeachment Trial of President Bill Clinton, Republican House Manager Congressman Henry Hyde held up a letter from 8 year old William Preston Summers, a 3rd grader from Chase Elementary School in Chicago.

It was perhaps only compelling moment in the entire trial. 

This week, we put Congressman Henry Hyde reading third grader William Preston Summers' letter into the Words Matter Library.
