A Jolly Day with Mary, Part I

Mary Jolley, former legislative assistant for the late Congressman Carl Elliott, helps us tell the story of a man who lost so much but always had the courage of his convictions. This introductory conversation covers Elliott’s dogged pursuit of a college degree and two landmark pieces of legislation that he helped pass in the 1950s. Mary also shares stories about the work she did on behalf of Elliott as well as President John F. Kennedy.
