    DescriptionA black and white photograph of Betty Bumpers, Glenn Parker (?), Nell Balkman, and Dr. Doty Murphy seated around a table. They are in a meeting working on Betty's childhood immunization project, "Every Child in '74."


    Betty Bumpers was the thirty-fifth First Lady of Arkansas (1971-1975). Her “Every Child in ‘74” was implemented in 1972, to have every child in the state immunized against childhood diseases. By 1983, 100% of the children in Arkansas were immunized. The program was so successful it was used as a model nationwide.
