Details
In Birch Bayh: American Senator, discover how one legendary Hoosier’s career spanned — and shaped — a time of tremendous change, and how his legislation still resonates today.
Birch Bayh was a man of civility and optimism who worked in the “Golden Age” of the U.S. Senate, an era of bipartisanship and progress. From the fall of Kennedy’s Camelot, through the war in Vietnam, to the Civil Rights and Women’s movements, Bayh created some of the most influential legislation in American history in a time that called for bold action. Meet the man and policymaker through archival footage and new interviews with Evan Bayh, Billie Jean King.
