Iowa Anti-Death Penalty Education, 1977-2010
- Extent:
- 0.8 cubic ft.
- Scope and content:
- Debate over the reinstatement of the death penalty in Iowa reappeared in the mid 1990s. Baldus made efforts to educate Iowans on what a death penalty would bring by speaking, writing, and communicating with groups like Iowans Against the Death Penalty. In early 1995 the State House passed a bill that would have reinstated capital punishement in Iowa. The bill was defeated in the State Senate later that year. State Representative Jack Holveck wrote that Baldus's "role was probably more important than any other single person."
