January 10, 2016
In doing the research for her new book Belle La Follette: Progressive Era Reformer, Santa Clara University Associate History Professor Nancy C. Unger discovered that the work of previous historians (including herself!) had drastically underestimated this great humanist (1859-1931). Come discover the surprising truths about the radical reformer denounced as “disgraceful to the white race” who fought for votes for women, peace, civil rights…and more. This presentation, richly illustrated by PowerPoint images, will present Belle La Follette as a model of progressive reform for 2016.
