Pelican Institute Commemorates Life of Friedman with Discourse on Energy Policy
On July 30th, the Pelican Institute celebrated Milton Friedman’s Legacy for Freedom with a luncheon and guest lecture from Chris John, president of the Louisiana Mid-Continent Oil and Gas Association.
Kevin Kane, the institute’s president, opened the event and explained how Friedman’s work remains relevant and how his presence is missed in the ongoing battle for liberty and progress. The Foundation for Educational Choice, founded by Milton and Rose Friedman, supported the event and is just one example of that legacy. Kane also noted that post-Katrina education reforms have made school choice particularly relevant to the people of New Orleans.
