On Sunday morning, Oct. 21, 2012, George McGovern passed away. Here is a partial statement from his family:
"We are blessed to know that our father lived a long, successful and productive life advocating for the hungry, being a progressive voice for millions and fighting for peace. He continued giving speeches, writing and advising all the way up to and past his 90th birthday, which he celebrated this summer."
As noted in an earlier post, George McGovern was a hero in many ways to many people. He influenced young people and gave them hope in a time of great conflict. He continued his fight for justice and peace. A good man.
What would the world look like today if George McGovern had been elected instead of Richard Nixon?
