Adlai! (Stevenson, that is)

At NSSC, Northfield Location: 

Joe Bean, Illinois Humanities Council Road Scholar

He held only one elective office in his career (Governor of Illinois, 1948-1952), but Adlai Stevenson set the standard for political speechmaking in his two unsuccessful Presidential campaigns. Adored by his followers and disparaged by his opponents, the label "egghead" stuck with him throughout both campaigns. His refusal to repeat speeches while campaigning resulted in a literary storehouse of one-liners, memorable phrases, and profound statements on democracy. Drawing from speeches, period photographs and other materials, Joe's presentation will showcase Stevenson's humor, his dedication to world peace, and his concern for education, patriotism and participatory democracy.
