Join us
Tuesday January 28th at 10 a.m. in the K.C. Hall as Tom Milligan
with Humanities Iowa presents “Cartoons & Conservation: A Visit with Ding
Darling”.
In this
45-minute presentation, Jay N. “Ding” Darling visits with the audience, as an
old friend, in his 11th office at The Des Moines Register. Beginning with his
early years in Sioux City where as a young boy where he became aware of the
natural world around him while developing skills as an editorial cartoonist, he
recalls his remarkable life journey. His story continues to include two
Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoons for the Register and a remarkable
career as a nationally known conservationist. From the introduction of The Duck
Stamp to the creation of the National Wildlife Federation, Darling’s influence
was felt not only through his cartoons but his actions as well. Considered by
many to be one of the most important members of the modern conservation
movement in the first half of the 20th century, the impact of his work is still
felt today.
