On July 27, we hosted a Kumpuris Distinguished Lecture Series featuring Pulitzer Prize-winning author Isabel Wilkerson, with special remarks from President Bill Clinton. Wilkerson is a leading figure in narrative nonfiction, an interpreter of the human condition, and an impassioned voice for demonstrating how history can help us understand ourselves, our country, and our current era of upheaval. Dr. Victoria DeFrancesco Soto, Dean of the Clinton School of Public Service at the University of Arkansas, moderated the conversation.
Isabel Wilkerson is the author of the critically acclaimed New York Times bestsellers, “The Warmth of Other Suns” and “Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents.”
The Frank & Kula Kumpuris Distinguished Lecture Series is presented by the Clinton Foundation, Clinton School of Public Service at the University of Arkansas, Clinton Presidential Library and Museum, and AT&T.
