Previous speakers and award recipients include former vice president and environmental activist Al Gore \u201969; president and founder of the Children\u2019s Defense Fund, Marian Wright Edelman; Civil Rights activist Bob Moses; co-founder of #BlackLivesMatter Alicia Garza; and recently TransGriot founding editor Monica Roberts. Established in 2007, this annual lecture and award honors former PBHA volunteer, trustee, and longtime Harvard faculty member Robert Coles \u201950 and his book \u201cThe Call of Service,\u201d which examines the idealism PBHA seeks to instill in students. Coles is expected to attend the event, which is from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Nov. 3 at the Memorial Church.<\/p>\n<p>Awad is the national executive director of CAIR, the largest and most prominent civil liberties and advocacy organization serving the Muslim community in the United States. Awad has led multiple campaigns to defend the rights of Muslims and help Americans of other faiths better understand Islam.<\/p>\n<p>Awad has testified before both houses of the U.S. Congress on matters involving Muslims in America. In 1997, he served on the White House Civil Rights Advisory Panel to the Commission on Aviation Safety and Security.\u00a0In 2004, the National Journal named him one of the most influential people in the U.S., whose ideas will help shape the debate over public policy issues for the next decade. In 2012, a Georgetown University publication named him one of the 500 most influential Muslims in the world. In 2010, Arabian Business ranked him 39th in the \u201cArabian Business Power 100,\u201d its annual listing of the most influential Arabs.\u00a0In 2015, The Los Angeles Times named Nihad one of the new civil rights leaders. Awad has been frequently interviewed on national and international media such as CNN, Fox, MSNBC, PBS, C-SPAN, Al-Jazeera, The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, National Public Radio, and BBC World Service.<\/p>\n<p>Awad is a leading advocate for\u00a0justice and mutual understanding, promoting\u00a0dialogue and empowering American Muslims. PBHA will honor his lifetime service and continued efforts to encourage\u00a0dialogue\u00a0and build coalitions.<\/p>\n<p>The lecture and award precede the PBHA\u2019s annual Alumni Weekend, in which PBHA alumni reconnect and talk with current PBHA undergraduates. Each year an outstanding alumnus and supporter are honored at the annual luncheon. This year, however, the PBHA will honor its directors of programs Robert Bridgeman and David Dance, who are retiring after 24 years and 15 years, respectively. Bridgeman and Dance work in and out of the building with students and communities.<\/p>\n<p>The Robert Coles \u201cCall of Service\u201d Lecture and Award is free and open to the public.
