Saul O Sidore Lecture Series

Activism for the 21st Century

In the 20th century, activism took on various forms as the people from all continents struggled for political and personal freedoms. These great efforts continue today, sometimes altering in form, approach and focus, without losing the yearning for deeper and more meaningful change.

This year, the Saul O Sidore Lecture Series will examine how activism is taking shape for the 21st century.  Speakers will help us consider what positions and approaches activists should take as we debate the important issues of our day.
