Celebrating 40 Years of the Mansfield Legacy New Mansfield Book; Associated Community Events

 
As we celebrate 40 years of the Mansfield Legacy of bipartisanship and ethical leadership, we are delighted to highlight the publication of Mansfield and Dirksen: Bipartisan Giants of the Senate, written by historian, author, and Mansfield Advisory Board member Marc Johnson.

In Mansfield and Dirksen, Johnson chronicles the remarkable successes of the Senate in the 1960s in the face of unprecedented political and cultural change. Even as battles over civil rights and the war in Vietnam dominated American politics, bipartisanship often prevailed through the efforts of two remarkable leaders who remain giants of the Senate—Republican leader Everett Dirksen of Illinois and Montana’s own Mike Mansfield. The political and personal relationship of these party leaders, extraordinary by today’s standards, exemplifies what can be achieved when we bridge divides and lead with integrity.
