THE HISTORY OF THE
HUCK BOYD LECTURE SERIES
Huck Boyd was a Kansas newspaperman, politician, and businessman. He believed in the
power and importance of community media. A one-time student at K-State,
Boyd was unable to finish his education because of economic problems
and instead returned home to Phillipsburg, Kan., where he carried out
his family's legacy of publishing the Phillips County Review.
A strong believer in helping small communities survive and prosper,
he was concerned not only with media, but with issues such as health
care and business preservation.
Boyd died in 1987, but his legacy is alive and strong. In honor of Boyd's work and devotion
to the state of Kansas, the Huck Boyd Foundation opened a community
center in Phillipsburg
dedicated to his memory. The Huck Boyd National Center for Community
Media is a partner with the Foundation and the Huck
Boyd National Institute for Rural Development in Manhattan, Kansas.
