PD in Your PJs: Chris Kaergard - Dirksen Congressional Center

o For the PD in Your PJs series, we invite you to come as you are, drink what you want, engage with the experts, and leave with 1.0 CPDU credit.

o The landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 might not have become law without the work of a small-town U.S. senator from downstate Illinois. We'll explore how Sen. Everett Dirksen helped break a months-long filibuster of the bill and how he interacted with Civil Rights Movement leaders and constituents during the debate. Details on prospective lessons and primary sources for educators will also be offered.

This is a free program, but advance registration is required.
