Mildred Fish-Harnack Lecture
Professor Shannon Speed will give the 2023 Mildred Fish-Harnack Human Rights and Democracy Lecture.

While living in Germany, Fish-Harnack assisted in the escape of German Jews and political dissidents. She is the only American civilian executed under the personal instruction of Adolf Hitler for her resistance to the Nazi regime.
This lectureship is designed to promote greater understanding of human rights and democracy and enrich international studies at the university. The 2023 event will take place 4-5:30 p.m. Monday, April 17, 2023, in the Alumni Lounge at the Pyle Center.
