Your article about the great and important work of the Concord Heritage Commission (Monitor, March 28) ironically missed what I think is the most important historical fact about Concord.
The photo that accompanies the story depicts the marker in front of the former Walker School. You did not mention that this memorializes the location where New Hampshire became the ninth state to ratify the United States Constitution – thereby giving it the votes it needed to become the law of the land. We should be celebrating and venerating the city’s role in Constitutional history, and the city’s schools could do that by teaching the Constitution and its amendments, including the text, from middle school, if not earlier.
