Posted by DEAN SKIP RUTHERFORD – Former Vice President Al Gore joined a select group of Americans last week when he won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work on the environment and climate change. The documentary “An Inconvenient Truth” about his work in these areas had previously won an Academy Award. Other Americans who have won the Nobel Peace Prize include: Theodore Roosevelt (1906); Woodrow Wilson (1919); Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (1964); Henry Kissinger (1973); and Jimmy Carter (2002). Congratulations Mr. Vice President on this well deserved tribute.
Speaking of the Nobel Peace Prize, on Wednesday, October 17, Judith Stiehm, author of “Champions for Peace: Women Winners of the Nobel Peace Prize” will speak at 6 p.m. at the Clinton School and then sign copies of her book. Reservations can be made by emailing publicprograms@clintonschool.uasys.edu or by calling Nikolai DiPippa (501-683-5239).
