The Best Candidates Never To be President

At NSSC, Nielsen Campus:

Barry Bradford, M.A., Historian

With an extraordinary presidential election just behind us, Barry Bradford is back with a powerful and persuasive presentation on the best candidates to run for president who did not win! Which defeated candidates might well have become great presidents? In the first session of this class, political maven Barry will share his insights on these failed candidates. His second session will focus on Adlai E. Stevenson: Ambassador to the World. Very few defeated presidential candidates inspire the depth of awe, respect, and reverence as 'the man from Libertyville.' Drawing on little-known anecdotes, rare archival footage, and intriguing insights, Barry will offer you a new, challenging, and inspiring perspective on the life of the man known as an apostle of peace.
