Oregon is no stranger to scurrilous people and their activities, some of which helped direct the fate of the western United States. COCC history professor Murray Godfrey discusses some of the more prominent Oregon political and cultural scandals and how they affected United States history from the early days as a territory to the 21st century.

During his presentation, Godfrey will single out 3-5 "scandalous" events that reflect Oregon history at several junctures ending with the Kitzhaber resignation.
