1922 - Promoting American Values

[/video]

American Viewpoint, the organization that would eventually become ECI, was founded in 1922 to promote American values. American Viewpoint was dedicated to pioneering educational programs in citizenship for immigrants entering America. With a focus on the need for individual responsibility in a democratic society, the organization taught everything from U.S. History and the value of education to basic instructions on how to vote in an election. For more than 50 years, the nonprofit continued to expand its citizenship programs through the publication of school history and civic textbooks and the sponsorship of lectures and seminars.
