Tom Milligan, an Iowa actor, portrays Henry A. Wallace in a one-act play. This play, based on a book by Senator John C. Culver and John Hyde, explores “American Dreamer: The Life and Times of Henry A. Wallace,” a prominent figure in Iowa history who served as US Secretary of Agriculture, Vice President to Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Secretary of Commerce.
In the play, Milligan brings to life Wallace's story, highlighting his contributions as an agricultural innovator and founder of Pioneer Hi-Bred seed corn company. Wallace's legacy also includes his work in science, journalism, business, academics, and humanitarian efforts. The play, and Milligan's portrayal, delve into Wallace's vision for the future, including his controversial 1948 presidential campaign where he was labeled a Socialist.
