Dr. Noll will join us for a special event at the Cornell Club in New York City. This is a ticketed event for Cornell alumni. If you are interested in being added to the invite list, please contact [email protected].
The title of Dr. Noll’s lecture will be “Race, Religion, and the Ballot Box: How the Prophetic Witness of the Civil Rights Movement Continues to Shape America’s Political Life.”
Mark Noll, the Francis A. McAnaney Professor of History at the University of Notre Dame, is one of the most prolific and highly regarded religious historians in North America. The New Republic has said that he is “As fine a historian as America now boasts.” Noll is the author of many books, including America’s God: From Jonathan Edwards to Abraham Lincoln (Oxford, 2002), The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind (Eerdmans, 1994), and most recently, God and Race in American Politics (Princeton, 2008).
Sponsored by Cornell United Religious Work (CURW), Chesterton House, Minority Alumni Programs, and Africana Studies.
