Justice for All
Description
Justice for All chronicles the life of Dick T. Morgan, a founding father of Oklahoma known for his commitment to fairness in a deeply divided Gilded Age America. Arriving in Oklahoma's Unassigned Lands with the first wave of settlers in 1889, Morgan gained a reputation as a leading lawyer in land disputes, built a real estate business, and promoted church-building across Oklahoma Territory. Serving in Congress from 1909 to 1920, he helped establish key Progressive Era institutions like the Federal Reserve, Federal Trade Commission, and Federal Farm Credit System. His ability to work across party lines offers a valuable lesson for today's polarized politics. Morgan's great-grandsons, David and Kenyon, spearheaded this biography, retracing his legacy and bringing his contributions to light, revealing a man deeply committed to public service, education, and the values of home, church, and school.
