The Legacy of Laurance Rockefeller
Join us for a 30-minute talk about Laurance S. Rockefeller, affectionately known as the "quiet brother." While he inherited his family's legacy of philanthropy and venture capital investments, he is celebrated as one of the greatest environmentalists of the 20th century. Discover how his contributions shaped conservation efforts, transcended political boundaries, and influenced American society through science and technology for generations.
