Culture Crawl 922 “Shocked I’d Never Heard of Him”

 

Some people have a second act, but UI alum Harold Bradley had at least four. Collegiate, military, and NFL football standout, artist, musician, and activist. University of Iowa Chief Innovation Officer Jon Darsee began to dig into Bradley’s background after appreciating four paintings of Iowa Black leaders Bradley painted back in the Seventies.

Those paintings hang in the Iowa Memorial Union (IMU) and the display has been transformed into a permanent exhibit, part of which is a short documentary celebrating Bradley and his diverse career.

Visit the Bradley exhibit anytime the IMU is open, on the second floor near the International Ballroom.
