Secretary Pompeo On the Centenary of the Founding of the International Labor Organization
MICHAEL R. POMPEO, SECRETARY OF STATE
JUNE 21, 2019The United States today celebrates the 100th anniversary of the founding of the International Labor Organization (ILO). The dignitaries that convened in Paris in 1919 to end the Great War knew that any lasting peace needed to be rooted in the protection of individual rights, including the rights of workers and employers to associate freely and bargain collectively. The United States proudly hosted the first International Labor Conference in 1919 and the war-time conference that enshrined the ILO’s enduring founding principles and aims in the Declaration of Philadelphia. As strong supporters of the ILO and its mission, we reflect on the important role played by Americans to create and sustain this organization, including David Morse, who served as ILO Director-General for 22 years, and under whose leadership the ILO won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Maya Lin’s Speech at 2018 Yale SVA Commencement
New York City, — On Monday, May 7, 2018, Radio City Music Hall hosted the 2018 Yale School of Visual Arts Commencement Exercises. Proud parents, elated students —1,180 graduates receiving degrees—and seas of red graduation gowns filled the beautiful Art Deco space on this glorious day.
The centerpiece highlight, of course, was the keynote speech by designer and environmentalist Maya Lin, an artist “who interprets the natural world through science, history, politics and culture,” as so perfectly put by SVA Board of Directors member Joseph F. Patterson.
A recipient of both the National Medal of Arts (2009) and the Presidential Medal of Freedom (2016), Lin was introduced to the art world in 1981, when as a 21-year-old undergraduate at Yale, she won a fierce competition to design the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, which was completed in 1982 and redefined the concept of a monument, standing as one of the most powerful memorials in modern memory.
