Thunder From the Prairie: The Life of Harold E. Hughes
Presenter: James Harrington, Author and Public Relations Manager (retired)
Harold Hughes of Ida Grove, Iowa, was an activist governor of Iowa in the 1960s and an influential U.S. senator from 1969 to 1974. A born-again Christian who was a charismatic political liberal, Hughes oversaw a dramatic transformation of Iowa government to meet mid-20th century needs, often boldly acting on issues others feared to touch. As a senator, he opposed the Vietnam War and, as a recovered alcoholic, established the first national effort to aid alcoholics. Author Jerry Harrington will review Hughes' life based on his book, Thunder From the Prairie: The Life of Harold E. Hughes.
