George Creel
George Creel (December 1, 1876 – October 2, 1953) was an investigative journalist, a politician, and, most famously, the head of the United States Committee on Public Information, a propaganda organization created by President Woodrow Wilson during World War I. He said of himself that "an open mind is not part of my inheritance. I took in prejudices with mother's milk and was weaned on partisanship."〔Chris Hedges, ''Death of the Liberal Class'' (New York: Nation Books, 2010), p. 74.〕
==Early life==
Creel was born on December 1, 1876 near Beijing, China. He viewed his alcoholic father as a great impression upon his mother, which inspired his passion for women's suffrage.〔Perry J. Ashley, “American Newspaper Journalists, 1901-1925” (Detroit, Mich.: Gale Research Co, 1984)〕 The family moved frequently around west-central Missouri in Creel's early years, living for a time in Wheatland, Hickory County, Missouri then Kansas City before finally settling in Odessa, Missouri in 1888.〔''The Missouri Historical Review'', Volume XII, pp. 100-102, October 1917-July 1918, The State Historical Society of Missouri, Columbia, Mo.〕 As the sole supporter of the family, his mother earned money through prostitution and drug dealing. He often said that “I knew my mother had more character, brains, and competence than any man that ever lived.”〔 His mother also encouraged his love for literature. Although Creel resisted formal education, he credited his mother for his fair knowledge of history and the classics, such as the ''Iliad''.〔 In 1891 the then fifteen-year-old Creel ran away from home for a year, supporting himself by working at a succession of county fairs across Missouri and odd jobs when available.〔 Despite his resistance and rebellion Creel did manage to receive some formal schooling, attending Kansas City Central High School, Odessa High School and Odessa College for one year.〔
