Richard Nixon Signed 1987 Hofstra Presidential Conference Program – PSA/DNA Certified, Gem Mint 10

Description:
Presented here is an original program from the Sixth Annual Presidential Conference at Hofstra University, held November 19–21, 1987, signed by President Richard Nixon in bold blue ink across the cover. The event, titled “Richard Nixon: A Retrospective on His Presidency,” is commemorated with a striking red, white, and blue design featuring medallion-style illustrations of Nixon and the Great Seal of the United States. Nixon's crisp, clean autograph appears prominently beneath the conference title, earning a Gem Mint 10 from PSA/DNA.

Historical Context:
This signed conference program represents a rare and historically rich artifact from a pivotal event in modern presidential scholarship. The 1987 Hofstra University conference marked a significant milestone in the reexamination of Richard Nixon’s legacy, more than a decade after his resignation in 1974. By 1987, Nixon had reemerged on the public stage, publishing works on foreign policy and engaging in strategic consultations with world leaders.

This conference brought together historians, journalists, policymakers, and academics for a nuanced discussion of Nixon’s presidency, covering foreign affairs, domestic policy, and the Watergate scandal. Nixon’s participation—and his willingness to autograph programs like this—demonstrates his enduring effort to shape how future generations would understand his complex and consequential presidency.
