Later this month, Lehman College in the Bronx will hold a program called “The United Nations at Lehman College: A Homecoming.”
A homecoming?
Apparently so. The campus is the original home of the United Nations. It was 1946, and the campus then housed the uptown branch of Hunter College. Tthe Soviet Union staged its first walkout, the Atomic Energy Commission was formed under Bernard Baruch and Eleanor Roosevelt began the work that led to the Declaration of Human Rights.
The program will take place on May 21 from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. It is free and open to the public.
Margaret Bruce, an assistant to Roosevelt and a Mount Kisco resident whom I wrote about a few weeks ago, will take part in a symposium on “The United Nations: Past, Present and Future.” Also participating will be Brian Urquhart, the former undersecretary general for special political affairs, and Betty Teslenko, the former deputy head, Verbatim Reporting Section.
