Civics Champion: Patricia Houston The Richard Nixon Foundation is thrilled to announce Patricia Houston’s $500,000 pledge to the American Civics Campaign. Her gift strengthens our goal to revitalize civics education and transform the Nixon Library into a dynamic center for civics. Patricia’s journey began in the U.K., where she developed a passion for history. After moving to the U.S., she gained a deeper appreciation for American civics—especially during her citizenship process. She believes in our mission: "I truly believe that all Americans, but especially young people, need to learn more about this incredible country they live in." The Nixon Foundation’s American Civics Campaign aims to fill this educational void, ensuring that future generations understand the fundamentals of American history and civics.

One year after Hamas terrorists horrifically massacred innocent civilians on October 7th, we stand firmly with our friends in Israel. We remember those lives tragically cut short and those kept hostage still today. In 1992, President Nixon said, “We have a bond to Israel that’s much stronger, it’s a moral commitment… because of what happened during the Holocaust… and because it is a democracy, the only democracy in that area…. There is no doubt whatever of our commitment to Israel.” #NeverForgetOct7
