Description
In this illustrated presentation, retired history professor and award-winning author Don Hickey explores Nebraska’s remarkable, and largely unappreciated, record for embracing innovative and often radical ideas. Defying its reputation for stodgy conservatism, Nebraska has been the breeding ground for new ideas that have fostered democratic rule and the protection of basic rights; promoted economic growth and the conservation of resources; and broken new ground in the world of popular culture and entertainment. Don attributes these developments to the practical and pragmatic streak that has long defined the way that Nebraskans approach the problems of modern life.
