| Summary |
"William Allen White, the great Kansan, newspaper publisher and friend to Teddy Roosevelt, once said, "If it is going to happen, it'll happen first in Kansas." And he's been right in so many ways. The Civil War started in Kansas. Women's suffrage made progress here before sweeping the nation with the 19th Amendment. The Civil Rights movement was going strong in Kansas, with the Dockum Sit-in for example, long before equal rights was in the nation's consciousness. And Kansas is at it again. A type of civic leadership that revolves around five principles has taken hold and is garnering attention from all corners of the state. Others around the nation and globe are taking notice, too. The Kansas Leadership Center fuels the effort, but everyday citizens bring it to life and in doing so make their organizations and communities stronger. "What's Right with Kansas" conveys some of those stories and gives you ideas to foster leadership for stronger organizations and communities."--Back cover |
