The Wayne Morse Center for Law and Politics is a living memorial to Oregon's former U.S. senator. Housed at the School of Law at the University of Oregon, the Center brings scholars and activists to Oregon to carry on the Wayne Morse tradition of intellectual independence and integrity. The center adopts a theme of inquiry for two-year periods and conducts activities through several programs.
The theme of inquiry for 2009-2011 is Climate Ethics and Climate Equity.

WAYNE MORSE QUOTES...
“I have
complete
faith in the ability
of the American people to follow the
facts if you'll give them, and my charge against my government is
we're not giving
the American people the facts.”
— May 24, 1964 (Two months before the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution passed through Congress)
