Film: "The Uncommon Man"

Time: 7:00 p.m.

Place: Hagley Museum and Library, Soda House Auditorium

Join Hagley for a film produced by the Atomic Heritage Foundation about the life of Crawford Greenewalt. In 1959, Crawford Greenewalt wrote: ”The story of America is the story of common men who were inspired to uncommon levels of accomplishment.” No one fits that description better than its author. The son of a physician, Greenewalt rose to incredible heights. A key figure in the Manhattan Project, Greenewalt also made major contributions to chemical engineering, ran the DuPont Company, and published a definitive study of the world’s hummingbirds. The film tells the story of his amazing life. A reception will follow the lecture.
