Presented by the World Affairs Council of Orange County
An Evening Celebrating Peace, Progress, and Our Global Community
Join us for a remarkable night honoring the spirit of diplomacy and dialogue that defined a generation — and continues to shape ours today.
This year’s gala pays tribute to the Kennedy administration’s support of the Non-Aligned Movement, the Civil Rights Movement, and the global labor movement — recognizing the intertwined struggles for freedom and equality that continue to inspire us.
Distinguished speakers include academic scholars of the era, H.E. Samia Nkrumah, daughter of Ghana’s first president Kwame Nkrumah, Dr. Nyerere, granddaughter of Tanzania’s founding president Julius Nyerere, and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, daughter of Robert F. Kennedy.
Your participation supports our mission to keep our community engaged with world affairs, diplomacy, and the pursuit of peace.
