Senator George Norris tells how he helped create TVA

In the 1930s, Sen. George Norris (R-Nebraska) worked side by side with President Franklin D. Roosevelt to make the idea of the Tennessee Valley Authority a reality.

For years David Landis, a former state senator from Nebraska and an accomplished actor, has performed a one-man show as Norris (right). In honor of TVA’s 75th anniversary, a shortened version of Landis’ performance is available on tvakids.com. Click here to view the video.
