Madeleine Albright, the U.S.secretary of state during the administration of President Bill Clinton, will speak at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, March 30, in the Divinity School's Marquand Chapel, 409 Prospect St.
Titled "The Mighty and the Almighty: American Foreign Policy and God," the lecture is free and open to the public.
Madeleine Korbel Albright served as the 64th secretary of state of the United States. She was the first woman to hold that post and is the highest ranking woman in the history of the U.S government.
As secretary of state, Albright reinforced America's alliances, advocated democracy and human rights and promoted American trade and business, labor and environmental standards abroad.
Albright's accomplishments during her tenure included the expansion and modernization of NATO and NATO's successful campaign to reverse ethnic cleansing in Kosovo; the promotion of peace in the Balkans; the reduction of nuclear dangers from Russia; the expansion of democracy in Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America; the expansion of our multifaceted relationship with China including trade as well as human rights; and the growth of trade in the Americas, in Africa through the African Growth Opportunity Act, and through the conclusion of hundreds of other agreements that facilitated American business overseas.
In June 2000, she and representatives from every region of the world convened the first-ever conference of democracies.
