While Barkley is perhaps best known for how he passed away, this Graves County farm boy grew up to have an out-sized impact on the 20th century. From Barkley's part in the New Deal to his becoming the first modern Vice President, Todd Hatton illustrates that, without "The Veep," today's world would look very different.  7:00 pm | 2nd Floor meeting room
