Daniel OkrentLast Call: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition
On November 14, Daniel Okrent delivered the 2012 Alexander W. Weddell Lecture entitled “Last Call: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition.” The first annual Alexander W. Weddell Lecture took place in 1983 and was named in honor of Alexander Weddell, former president of the VHS. Ambassador Weddell and his wife, Virginia, bequeathed Virginia House and a generous endowment to the VHS. The Weddell Lecture takes place on the evening of the last board of trustees meeting of the year, usually the third Wednesday in November. Past Weddell Lecturers have included Gary W. Gallagher, Edward L. Ayers, Rick Atkinson, and Tony Horwitz. (Introduction by Paul Levengood)
