Few remember the legacy of politician Hubert Humphrey, and those who do might recall a failed presidential bid in 1968 and his refusal to publicly criticize the Vietnam War. But if given a closer look, Humphrey’s early years were defined by his hopes for a more just America. His life is one that deserves reexamination, and that’s exactly what he’s finally been given, through award-winning author Samuel G. Freedman’s book, Into the Bright Sunshine.
From distinguished journalist Samuel G. Freedman comes a book that celebrates one of the overlooked landmarks of civil rights history, and illuminates the early life and enduring legacy of the man who helped bring it about.
Join FOLCS on Wednesday, October 25th, at 7pm ET for a Conversation with author and Columbia Journalism School Professor Samuel G. Freedman on his latest book, Into the Bright Sunshine.
The discussion will be followed by a book sale and signing with the author.
This event is produced in partnership with the JCC.
