Hubert Humphrey was a Minnesota Senator and Vice President under Lyndon B. Johnson. When the HHS headquarters building was dedicated to Hubert H. Humphrey in 1977, it marked the first time that a federal building had been dedicated to a living person. This week would have been the former Minnesota Senator and Vice President's 100th birthday. To celebrate the life and legacy of the man who was instrumental in the creation of critical HHS programs such as Head Start and Medicare, HHS will host a Centennial Celebration in the HHH building Great Hall. The program includes remarks from Secretary Sebelius, a screening of excerpts from a documentary about Humphrey (The Art of the Possible), and a discussion with the filmmaker, Mick Caouette. - - - This video is also found at: www.hhs.gov We accept comments in the spirit of our comment policy: newmedia.hhs.gov US Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) www.hhs.gov
