March 16th is uncommonly known as Freedom of Information Day. It’s a day celebrating the birthday of James Madison, who is also known as the Father of the Constitution. An advocate for openness in government, Madison helped draft the United States Constitution and United States Bill of Rights, and was a strong voice in ensuring the government of his time would not keep secrets from its citizens. The American Library Association and a coalition of other organizations celebrate Freedom of Information (FOI) Day in conjunction with Madison’s birthday, March 16, 1751.
