"Work and family are at the center of our lives; the foundation of our dignity as a free people."— Ronald Reagan
When accepting the presidential nomination at the Republican National Convention in Detroit in 1980, Ronald Reagan stressed the core concepts of family, work, peace, and freedom. Reagan still had a lot of work to do to win enough votes to seize the Oval Office, but his acceptance speech at the convention helped pave the way. His soothing tone and focus on national unity, along with his promise to restore the “values and virtues handed down to us by our families,” reassured a then-pessimistic nation that he was the man for the job.
