It is held in the fall, usually in conjunction with Alumni Weekend.

Past lecturers have included American journalist and political commentator Bill Moyers, former <i>NYTimes<\/i> columnist Bob Herbert, and historian David Blight. The lecture typically occurs in the Fall semester.\n <br>\n<br>\n<i>About Howard Zinn and the Fund:<\/i> Howard Zinn was an author, a history professor, and a political activist whose writings changed the lives of BU students and readers around the world. Zinn taught in the College of Arts &#038; Sciences\u2019 political science department for twenty-four years, from 1964 to 1988. He was a hero of the political left, a consistent and cogent critic of American policies, both domestic and international. He is best known for his 1980 book <i>A People\u2019s History of the United States<\/i>, which countered the premise that history must be written by and for society\u2019s &#8220;winners.&#8221; A television documentary released in 2009, <i>The People Speak<\/i>, translated Zinn\u2019s work to the screen for yet another generation of progressive thinkers. The Howard Zinn Memorial Lecture is made possible by a generous gift from Alex MacDonald, Esq. (CAS\u201972), and his late wife Maureen A. Strafford, MD (MED\u201976).\n<\/p><\/div><div id=\"field_220_11\"  class=\"gfield gfield--type-html gfield--width-full gfield_html gfield_html_formatted gfield_no_follows_desc field_sublabel_below gfield--no-description field_description_below gfield_visibility_visible\"  data-js-reload=\"field_220_11\"><h5 style=\"color:#e31936;\">THE ANNUAL SILAS PEIRCE LECTURE <\/h5>\n<p><i>About the Lecture: <\/i>The Annual Silas Peirce Lecture is open to all fields of inquiry covered in the College of Arts &#038; Sciences, and is designed to represent different fields across the years. Given Silas Peirce\u2019s deep roots in the Boston area, topics of special relevance to this region are welcomed. For example, Laura Walls, William P. and Hazel B. White Professor of English, University of Notre Dame, presented on the legacy of Henry David Thoreau in 2019. The lecture is held in the Spring semester, usually in February or March.\n <br>\n<br>\n<i>About Silas Peirce and the Fund:<\/i> Silas Peirce (1860-1922) was associated with many businesses and Boston area charitable organizations. The family company, Silas Peirce &#038; Co, which he led, was established by his great uncle in 1815, and the family\u2019s summer home was on property in Scituate, Mass that had been occupied by his family since 1642. Peirce was treasurer of Boston University (1911-1922) and a University Trustee (1899-1922). The Silas Peirce fund was established by Peirce\u2019s heirs with the intention of providing for special lectures at the College. This lecture series was reintroduced at Boston University in 2014 as one of the signature events of the academic calendar, with the intent of bringing the community together across multiple disciplines, including across colleges, through a topic of broad interest to faculty, students, and alumni.<\/p><\/div><div id=\"field_220_26\"  class=\"gfield gfield--type-html gfield--width-full
