A Ken Sorensen Lecture SeriesClara Barton’s life began in humble circumstances, with nothing to suggest the extraordinary impact she would have on the world. Her relentless persistence was an early sign of the determination that defined her career.
Barton refused to accept “no” as an answer, breaking barriers and achieving remarkable firsts. She became the first woman employed by the U.S. Patent Office, the first to deliver medical supplies directly to battlefields during the Civil War, and the first to lead efforts to identify soldiers who perished at Andersonville Prison—bringing closure to thousands of grieving families.
Most notably, she founded the American Red Cross, revolutionizing disaster relief and humanitarian aid. Clara Barton changed how we respond to crises and left a legacy of courage and compassion.
Join us to explore the life and achievements of this true American hero.
