×The Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics at the University of Kansas is pleased to announce a new exhibit, Voices from the Big First, 1961-1968, which will debut in the Elizabeth Dole Gallery and Reading Room on February 11, 2021, and will remain open until May 16, 2021. In conjunction with the exhibit, a series of afternoon programs on related topics will be live-streamed to the institute’s YouTube channel. Senator Pat Roberts, who worked with Senator Dole in the 1960s, will be a featured guest for one of these programs.
To provide more context on Congress and the decade, the Dole Institute is also proud to host The Great Society Congress virtual interactive experience in conjunction with Voices from the Big First. Produced by the Association of Centers for the Studies of Congress, the feature showcases documents from partner repositories across the country.
This exhibit and associated programs examine where Kansas has been and where it’s going to complement Humanities Kansas initiative: Crossroads: Change in Rural America, a partnership between Humanities Kansas and the Smithsonian Institution’s Museum on Main Street program. Funding for the exhibit and related programs was provided by Humanities Kansas. Humanities Kansas is a nonprofit cultural organization that connects communities with history, traditions, and ideas to strengthen civic life.
