Charlie Kirk’s widow Erika called on the next generation of Christian scholars to follow in her husband’s footsteps and pursue truth and “defend liberty” during her commencement speech at Hillsdale College Saturday.
Even though a twisted assassin took his life, her husband’s spirit endures, the Turning Point USA CEO told the graduates.
“Through his learning, Charlie was better able to recognize his duty to pursue truth and to defend liberty, and this responsibility he felt to God. He felt it for our family, to our country, and that was born from what he learned.”
She implored Hillsdale College’s 400-person graduating class to uphold those traditional values as they enter the workforce and to marry one another young.
“As you continue forward in life, I want you to kind of embrace the similar blueprint of my husband, where he loved to point out that God made us purposeful beings and continue forward in life with clarity and intention,” she said.
