United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan spoke on “The Politics of Globalization” at Harvard’s Sanders Theatre in September, 1997, addressing the promise and frustrations engendered by the world’s faltering journey towards global prosperity and social justice. An audience of more than 1200 people, mostly students, filled the theatre to capacity and gave the Secretary-General three standing ovations. Hundreds more had lined up outside. The event was sponsored by the Weatherhead Center’s Harvard Academy for International and Area Studies. Photo credit: Weatherhead Center for International Affairs, Harvard University
