Prominent Historical Actors to Portray Jefferson, Adams for Constitution Day at Lander

Steven Edenbo (portraying Thomas Jefferson) and Peyton Dixon (portraying John Adams) will debate the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution live at Lander. The actors have made television appearances on The History Channel, PBS and A&E, and have performed at several impressive venues throughout the United States, including the U.S. National Archives, Independence Historic Park in Philadelphia and the Smithsonian Institute.

“We believe it is crucial for our students, and our community, to have a deeper understanding of our nation’s founding documents,” said Dr. Ryan Floyd, professor of history and chair of the Department of History and Philosophy at Lander University. “We are pleased to welcome Steven Edenbo and Peyton Dixon to Lander University, and look forward to watching them bring history to life for our campus, and for Greenwood.”
