August 17, 2004 Harding University announces 2004-05 Distinguished Lecture SeriesSEARCY - Author and historian David Barton will initiate the 2004-05 American Studies Institute Distinguished Lecture Series Sept. 21.
His exhaustive research from original writings of the Founding Era has rendered him an expert in this field. He serves as consultant to state and federal legislators, has participated in several cases at the Supreme Court, and was involved in the development of history/social studies standards for students in Texas and California. Two radio personalities and a statesman round out the 2004-05 American Studies Institute Distinguished Lecture Series.
After working as a screenwriter in Hollywood, he reviewed movies for CNN and later as chief film critic for the New York Post. His most influential work was a best-selling indictment of the entertainment industry, Hollywood vs. America. His columns on media and society appear regularly in USA Today, where he serves as a member of the board of contributors.
Watts is chairman of J.C. Watts Companies, which provide services in communication, business and public affairs. He co-founded and co-chairs the Coalition for AIDS Relief in Africa and created the J.C. Watts Foundation to focus on urban renewal and other charitable initiatives. All presentations begin at 7:30 p.m. in Benson Auditorium. They are co-sponsored by the Young America’s Foundation. Tickets are not required, and seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.
