Ceo of the Wilson Center. I am a recovering politician, which is not a 12 step program, but i am absolutely delighted at the Wilson Center is hosting this event. I am looking for john milton hooper. Where is he . What are you doing in the back . For anyone who has not heard of john milton hooper, shame on you.

The subject of todays conversation. 1978, when the Wilson Center was 10 years old, we were charged by congress with creating a Hubert Humphrey fellowship in social and political thought. Good idea.

He also brought his deep empathy, compassion and shining power of his faith. He encouraged us to reach not only for Common Ground but for higher ground. He brought us together in this room and is doing it again even now. Today we are honored to name this hearing room for him. This room and the work we do here will remind future generations of elijahs unwavering co
