On this episode, we will take a look at Margaret Chase Smith, her "Declaration of Conscience" speech and enjoy an in-depth conversation with Margaret herself.
We start in 2006 with the history series Maine Experience. The first segment takes us back to 1950 as we see the events that led up to her taking her brave stand. Also in that episode is a fascinating look back at 130 years of the grange in Maine.
In the second half of our show, we feature a 1992 episode of Personally Speaking. Host Patsy Wiggins has a half hour conversation with Margaret that touches on her run in with McCarthy, her 1964 presidential bid, the Margaret Chase Smith Library and much more.
