Using gentle humor, some 450 visuals, and debate drawn from actual legislative events, the late U.S. Congressman G. V. "Sonny" Montgomery helps readers relive the Montgomery GI Bill's 1987 enactment, while learning each step of the way. Across the Aisle's extensive illustrative material brings the legislative process alive, as readers travel the historic legislative road with Congressman Montgomery himself as escort, storyteller, mentor, and colleague Congressman Montgomery served his Mississippi constituents for thirty years. Twenty-eight of those years included service on the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs, fourteen years as its chairman. Montgomery and a handful of colleagues understood that the success of our all-volunteer military would hinge on a permanent "GI Bill" education program. Indeed the Montgomery GI Bill has proven to help America on many fronts, including post-secondary education and training, national security, military recruiting, workforce and youth development, economic competitiveness, and civic leadership Montgomery's unique first-person account brings Washington, D.C., and lawmaking alive with enduring lessons in leadership, persuasion, civility, and that timeless virtue--perseverance.
This collection consists of five oral history interviews conducted by Anthony Louderbough with individuals depicted in the related pictorial collection. Subjects include the Chicano Movement, Native American activism, the UNM Black Student Union, protests against the Vietnam War (including deployment of the National Guard on the UNM campus in May 1970), and the 1973 occupation of Wounded Knee. The audio recording and a transcription are available for each interview. These interviews were originally planned as part of a larger project intended to conduct and archive oral histories of thirty of Louderbough’s photographic subjects from the era.
The interview relates particularly to the controversy over the doctrine of Scripture in the Advent Christian Church. It is part of the background to Mayer's An account of the Advent Christian controversy over the Bible's inspiration (Thesis [D.Min.]--Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, 1997).
