Introducing the Milestones of the First 50 Years

As 2023 marks fifty years of the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP), it is quite appropriate to look back on some of the milestones that have characterized the first five decades of the TFP, an ongoing effort to influence the course of America and bring about God’s marvelous plan for the nation.

The official act of incorporation in the state of New York in 1973 marked an important first milestone in the history of the American TFP, which began as a tiny mustard seed with a handful of devoted souls. Given time and cooperation with Divine Providence, the mustard seed has grown into a formidable tree, fighting

the Revolution in the United States, inspired by Professor Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira and his seminal work, Revolution and Counter-Revolution.

Amid the cultural war, the TFP has helped America continue to be a rock in a raging river, opposing the moral decay of modern society at every step and exhorting all people of goodwill to action for the restoration of Christian civilization.

Through upholding commendable traditions, continuing efforts to defend and strengthen families, and preserving the right to private property, the American TFP has undoubtedly been a crucial part of the battle for the soul of America.■
