And actually like jacksons founder, john jackson who is joining us today, secretary kerry, john kerry at the time, left new haven to serve in vietnam. He then served more than two decades in the u. S. Senate before becoming the 68th secretary of state under president obama. You probably know all of that, but what you might not know is that secretary kerry continues to pay it forward, helping to train the next generation of leaders here at the Jackson Institute and across yale and in many schools. Its my pleasure to welcome secretary kerry at this time. Sector, rapture might offer some initial perspectives on how you assess the global ramifications of covid19 and then introduce our panelists.

Welcome to the more than 1,000 registered attendees at this jackson virtual discussion forum. This is the fifth of these discussions. These discussions have tapped the Exceptional Leadership in knowledge that resides in the jackson network. Today is no exception. All of our panelists today are senior fellows who teach here at yale. Our moderator today, secretary john kerry graduated from yale, and like jacksons founder, john jackson is joining us today, secretary kerry, john kerry at time, left new haven to serve in vietnam.

Test. Test. Test. Test. Test. Test. Test. Test. Captioning performed by vitac from the 30s who went around taking pictures of poor people. His papers are at the archives and now, the thing that upset me about that and i was at smu at the time, but the third two options, keep robert e. Lee, go to russell lee or the third option was to name the school after the first africanamerican woman teacher, africanamerican teacher, period, who actually was still alive, shes 84, and taught all three of my daughters in second grade. And i thought that was the obvious choice, right . But they wanted to cling to lee. They wanted the name. They couldnt give up the name for this living africanamerican woman who had spent 35 or 40 years teaching at that school and retired. And ill just say very quickly, the same thing happened with stone well Jackson School this year in dallas, just up the street from smu. They did the same thing. They had these community meetings. They yelled and screamed at each other.
Day. Congratulations to all of you. I always say the Wilson Center has the brightest audiences, and you are bright enough to know that this will be a fabulous panel, a fabulous conversation on disinformation, the first of several we are planning. I am jane harman, president and ceo of the Wilson Center and i am delighted to be here. That august, which Means Congress and the president are on vacation. But todays topic is not on vacation and will not be, at least through the 2020 election. So that will some center is not putting off a conversation.

For example, a new article published by the Wilson Center tragic history and Public Policy program look at translated russian documents related to operation denver. A campaign in the 1980s not spread the lie that h. I. V. Was created as a result of the pentagons biolog

For example, a new article published by the Wilson Center tragic history and Public Policy program look at translated russian documents related to operation denver. A campaign in the 1980s not spread the lie that h. I. V. Was created as a result of the pentagons biological weapons research. So, disinformation was not infected in 2016 and is sadly unlikely to be buried in 2020, but today, we delve into the context. And we have the right moderator and speakers to do that. Our first panel, which starts right now is on historical patterns. Moderating is the very talented kate baldwin, the anchor of cn
