Boston Globe columnist James Carroll brought passion and insight to his discussion on the history of violence and the human condition. The award-winning author and distinguished-scholar-in-residence at Suffolk University chose the topic "War, Peace and the American Conscience." He established the context of his discussion with two years in history, 1919 and 1979, significant to both Emmanuel College and what he defined as key dates in the "current and countercurrent" that has swept the global mindset since World War I.
