</span></font>The <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Ford Hall Forum</span></b>
is the nation’s oldest free public lecture series. The Forum promotes
freedom of speech and fosters an informed and effective citizenry through the
public presentation of lectures, debates, and discussions. Its events
illuminate the key issues facing our society by bringing to its podium
knowledgeable and thought-provoking speakers, including some of the most
controversial opinion leaders of our times. These speakers are presented in
person, for free, and in settings, which facilitate frank and open debate.<br>
<br>
The Forum began in 1908 as a series of Sunday evening public meetings held at
the Ford Hall, which once stood on Beacon Hill in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City
w:st="on">Boston</st1:City></st1:place>. While the original building no longer
exists, the public conversations have continued throughout the Greater Boston
area with the generous support of foundations, corporations, academic
institutions, and individuals. As the Forum marks its 100th Anniversary, it is
embarking on a new partnership with the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Suffolk</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType>
<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">College</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> of Arts &
Sciences. <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Suffolk</st1:City></st1:place>
is now housing the Forum’s administrative offices just a block away from
where the original Ford Hall once stood.<br>
<br>
Ford Hall Forum programs are made possible through the generous contributions
from individual members as well as corporations and foundations, including The
Boston Foundation, The Boston Public Library, Citizens Bank, Boston Private
Bank & Trust Company, CBT Architects, The Fred and Marty Corneel Fund,
Fidelity Investments, Helen Rees Literary Agency, Houghton Chemical Corporation,
Jackson & Company, Levine, Katz, Nannis + Solomon, PC, The Lowell
Institute, Massachusetts Cultural Council, Nellie Mae Education Foundation, The
Old South Meeting House, The Pfizer Foundation, Plymouth Rock Assurance
Corporation, Prince, Lobel, Glovksy, and Tye, LLP, The WAND Education
Foundation, WBUR, WGBH, William Gallagher Associates.<br>
<br>
The Ford Hall Forum presents this program in collaboration with the <b><span
style='font-weight:bold'>Old South Meeting House</span></b>, as part of their <i><span
style='font-style:italic'>Partners in Public Dialogue Series</span></i>. Old
South Meeting House is a non-profit museum and historic site, located on the
Freedom Trail, dedicated to sustaining the building’s tradition as a
community-gathering place for the free exchange of ideas and to provide a place
where people can connect the issues of the past with the issues of today. It
receives support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency, the <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Institute</st1:PlaceType> of <st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Museum</st1:PlaceName></st1:place> and Library Services, a federal
