On Saturday, January 10 at 3pm, join us at the Museum of the High Plains in McCook, in partnership with the Norris Institute, as Dr. Nathan Tye explores how Senator George Norris forged a path for peace across his life and career, from his vote against World War I to his call for a “peace without hate” in World War II. As one of the Senate’s leading voices, Norris championed peace and diplomacy for decades, regardless of Washington’s political headwinds. Admission is free!
