Posted by DEAN SKIP RUTHERFORD – I don’t whether anyone caught it or not, but Arkansas Democrat Gazette writer Daniel Nasaw recently reported that former Akransas Governor Mike Huckabee indicated he would place his presidential papers at Ouachita Baptist University if he were elected President. Though buried in the news story, that’s a significant announcement.
While it doesn’t necessarily mean there is a commitment to put a Huckabee presidential library at Ouachita, it comes close. Most Presidential Libraries and Museums are in one location with one notable excpeption: the Gerald Ford Library is on the University of Michigan campus at Ann Arbor and the Gerald Ford Museum is in Grand Rapids.
if the news report is correct and if Huckabee is elected President, his presidential library (which is made up of his presidential papers) seems to be headed to Ouachita. He could also put his museum there or, like Ford, could select another location.
