WORLDWISE Arts & Humanities Dean’s Lecture Series presented Anthony Romero, Executive Director of the American Civil Liberties Union and the nation’s premier defender of civil and human rights as a guest speaker of the evening. He was named one of TIME magazine’s 25 Most Influential Hispanics in America. Under his leadership, the ACLU has challenged racial profiling, torture and abuse of detainees in U.S. custody, private ownership of human genes, and threats to basic freedoms during times of crisis. He is both the first Latino and openly gay man to serve in that capacity, and the first member of his family to graduate from high school. He is also a graduate of Stanford Law School and Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public Policy and International Affairs.
