South Dakota Hall of Fame: Grace Martin Highley

The interview posted above is from SDPB's daily public affairs show, In the Moment with Lori Walsh.

The South Dakota Hall of Fame has enshrined more than 700 South Dakotans. Its mission is to champion a culture of excellence and to preserve the stories of South Dakotans who played a big part in that culture. Grace Martin Highley was a trailblazer in child welfare. In the late 1930s, she became the director of South Dakota Child Welfare. Karen Martin Lockhart is Grace Martin Highley’s granddaughter.

An in-person honors ceremony for the class of 2022 is in Chamberlain/Oacoma on September 9 and 10.

Megan hosts All Things Considered and the SDPB News podcast.
Chris is a producer for In the Moment.
