Lunch and Learn with Michael J. Hightower, author of Justice for All: Dick T. Morgan, Frontier Lawyer and Common Man’s Congressman
Join the Oklahoma Territorial Museum for a Lunch and Learn program with Michael J. Hightower, Hightower will be discussing and signing his newest release Justice for All: Dick T. Morgan, Frontier Lawyer & Common Man’s Congressman.
Justice for All chronicles the career of Dick T. Morgan, an Oklahoma founding father whose public service reflects a passion for fairness that was sorely lacking in Gilded Age America. After arriving in the Unassigned Lands (later, central Oklahoma) with the first wave of non-Indian settlers on April 22, 1889, Morgan developed a reputation as the go-to lawyer for land disputes, built a substantial real estate business, and promoted church-building across Oklahoma Territory. During his tenure in Congress from 1909 until his death in 1920, he helped create institutions central to progressivism in the post-frontier period and shaped modern America, including the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Trade Commission, and the Federal Farm Credit System.
