Ray Brown to talk about
‘Walk Across America’
Former teacher Ray Brown
will be at the Siuslaw Public Li-
brary on Saturday, Sept. 15, be-
ginning at 1 p.m. in the Brom-
ley Room.
Brown will describe his ex-
periences walking across the
United States, as well as sharing
his passion for the Constitution
and American History
Thirteen years ago, after ob-
serving what he perceived to be
a steady erosion of civil liber-
ties, Brown felt a calling to ed-
ucate the American public and
stimulate interest in the Con-
stitution, the Bill of Rights, and
the study of our nation’s history
Brown, a retired Bethel
School District teacher, has now
given more than 7,000 copies of
the Bill of Rights, established a
“Bill of Rights” scholarship for
students, and has performed
annually at 4th of July festivi-
ties, including at Mount Rush-
more National Park.
As a part of his mission to
promote the study of American
history and the Constitution,
Brown dresses in period correct
historical attire while sharing
his love and passion with fellow
citizens.
Brown continues to be best
known for his Walk Across
America. The walk began when
he retired in 2010, when he
started the 3,200-mile walk in
Florence and ended in Atlantic
City, N.J., walking across des-
erts and over mountains and
following along much of yester-
day’s Oregon Trail.
The presentation at the Li-
brary by “A Son of Liberty,” as
Ray Brown is nicknamed, is
sure to entertain and enhance
or remind members of the au-
dience about the importance of
our Constitution and history.
This free event is open to the
public and will appeal to every-
one interested in the Constitu-
tion, American history, and/or
the stories of Ray Brown’s walk
