1928
Kellogg for Peace

Former Rochester attorney Frank B. Kellogg co-authors the Pact of Paris (better known as the Kellogg-Briand Pact), which renounces war as an act of national policy. Sixty-three nations sign. Kellogg is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1930.

Kellogg farmed in the 1870s until he became an attorney for the city of Rochester. Minnesotans elected him to the U.S. Senate in 1916 and President Coolidge appointed him Secretary of State.
