In 1961, Graham became the deputy of
Sargent Shriver, the first director of the
Peace Corps; and then he left Washington to serve as the Peace Corps country director in Tunisia (1963–1965). He would later say he "learned on the job" to become a feminist; and soon became one of the more outspoken commissioners along with the only female member,
Aileen Hernandez, a future NOW founder and president. By 1968, the Teacher Corps had expanded into 200 schools; and the program had earned modest bi-partisan support. Graham continued to head the Teacher Corps in the early years of the
Nixon administration until early 1971. In the mid-1970s, he became director of the
Center for Moral Education at the
Harvard Graduate School of Education. He served as President of
Goddard College in
Plainfield, Vermont (1975–1976); and he helped found the
Goddard-Cambridge Center for Social Change. From the mid-1980s until his death, Graham was an adviser to the
Council for Research in Values and Philosophy in Washington, D.C. Dick Graham married Nancy Aring Graham on December 21, 1949, and enjoyed 57 years of marriage until his death in 2007. Together they raised five children: Peggy Sue (Busy), Charles Louis (Hoey), Richard (Dicker), Nan and John. ==Notes==
