And the Grass invited the Sky to enrich the Earth with its Rain and Sunlight. And the Earth and Sky were joined together in the Grass. And the Grass clothed the Earth with Beauty and preserved it for the People yet to come. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54d016bbe4b07f8719d7c9d8/90389f3f-18b8-4cca-8e96-0bc30f8a5524/Logo+Draft-01.png Prairie Arboretum - Our Mission The first project of the Norris Institute is to create a Prairie Arboretum and Study Center.

Fiercely independent, George Norris emerged politically as a western agrarian progressive Republican. History textbooks usually note four of his legislative accomplishments. They include the Twentieth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which ended the 13-month “Lame-Duck” gap between the election of a new member of Congress and that member’s seating; the 1932 Norris-La Guardia Act, which strengthened organized labor’s collective bargaining hand; the campaign that resulted in Nebraska having the nation’s only unicameral state legislature; and, as his greatest legislative monument, the Tennessee Valley Authority. Although excluded from this “Famous Seven,” Norris is immortalized among Senator John F. Kennedy’s Courageous Eight in his 1956 book Profiles in Courage. Kennedy admiringly quoted Norris, whose willingness to speak his mind against the prevailing views of his constituents ultimately led to his 1942 defeat in a bid for a sixth term. Said Norris, “I would rather go down to my political grave with a clear conscience than ride in the chariot of victory.” Kennedy concluded, “Nothing could sway [George Norris] from what he thought was right, from his determination to help all the people, from his hope to save them from the twin tragedies of poverty and war.”
