UN Day 2025

The Chapter celebrated our 80th annual UN Day on Saturday, October 25, 2025 at the Tennessee State Library and Archives featuring keynote speaker Amy Sayward.

A historian of the United Nations and of Tennessee, Amy has written books on both topics.  She is a professor of history and the new American Democracy Project Director at Middle Tennessee State University. She discussed Cordell Hull's role in the creation of the United Nations and the organization's successes over its 80 year history. 

The event also included the second annual Universal Declaration of Human Rights essay and poster contest open to students in Rutherford County schools.
