The Harvard Black Alumni Society, the Office of the President, and the Harvard Alumni Association invite you to the Harvard Black Alumni Weekend.
 
This event brings together hundreds of alumni, faculty, and students from across the University and provides an experience rich in intellectual exchange, reflection, pride, and warm fellowship. We sincerely hope that you will attend and spread the word.
 
The 2009 program includes new activities such as a guided tour of the Sackler Museum’s African American art, a chance to have dinner with students in the House dining rooms, and a Friday night film festival featuring alumni artists. Nine panel discussions on Saturday promise to inspire lively and relevant conversations with topics including “Ethics in Healthcare: Facing Twenty-First Century Challenges,” “The Black Image: Fairness and Accountability in the Digital Age,” and “Managing the Cycle: Empowering Your Career Though Times of Change.”
 
Our keynote speaker at the Saturday evening gala will be James E. Johnson AB ’83, JD ’86, a white collar and corporate compliance litigator who served as Under Secretary of the Treasury during the Clinton Administration and who recently completed service as Chair of the New Jersey Advisory Committee on Police Standards. We will also pay special tribute to Alphonse “Buddy” Fletcher, Jr. AB ’87, one of our community’s most dedicated and accomplished alumni, at that event.
 
Please bookmark this website where you can review the schedule of events, make a donation, and find out more about the Harvard Black Alumni Society.
 
We look forward to sharing this event with you.
 
Sincerely,
 
Justin Alexander AB ’03, Natalya Davis AB ’04, and
Heather Johnston AB ’86
