This year marks the 100th anniversary of the presidential run of Robert M. LaFollette — one of the most successful third-party campaigns in U.S. history. Norman Stockwell, Publisher of the Progressive Magazine talks in detail about the history of LaFollette, his progressive ideas of breaking the power of monopolies over politics and economy, denouncing the resurgence of the KKK, and fighting against “any discrimination between races, classes, and creeds.” Stockwell gives some details of the anniversary party events scheduled starting tomorrow, April 25, 2024, and continuing through the weekend.
