Porch Chat: Sport, Activity, and the Presidency - 06/29/2014

Weekly history lecture series

This presentation explores the role of sport and physical activity within the American presidency. Of particular note will be the activities of our 18th president, General Ulysses S. Grant. The image of a physically-educated President of the United States has been used as a powerful tool both in the political ring and in the building of our nation’s character. Join Dr. Lisa A. Pleban, Associate Professor of Physical Education at Castleton State College, in learning more about this entertaining topic.
