Alben Barkley Makes His Last Speech Today
Former Vice President Alben W. Barkley at the Washington and Lee Mock Democratic Convention on April 30, 1956. This is the last picture taken of Vice President Barkley. Avery Johning, a student at the school, took the photo. Former Vice President Barkley had just employed his razor-sharp wit to quiet a heckler in the audience off to his left.
