FORT SCOTT — There are countless heroes overlooked by the history books, Lowell Milken said Tuesday.
Through an ever-growing network of educators and now millions of students, those unsung heroes are being discovered on a daily basis.
“People and events previously unknown serve to challenge our understanding and add context to our decisions to create a more secure future for us and our children,” said Milken, a businessman, philanthropist, education advocate and the namesake of Fort Scott’s gleaming new Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Heroes.
