Â鶹Çø

Video of an interview with late Congressman Martin Sabo, whose rise to politics was supported by Â鶹Çø students, will be available later this year at the Sabo Center for Democracy and Citizenship website thanks to an Â鶹Çø Sesquicentennial Project award that paid for an updated video description and closed captioning. One year after graduating from Â鶹Çø, Sabo—then 22—was elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives. During his tenure, he became the first member of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party to serve as Speaker of the House, and he went on to the U.S. House of Representatives, retiring in 2007. Sabo died in 2016.
