On Tuesday, June 12, 2007, William Barclay Allen spoke at The Lincoln Institute Breakfast Forum at the University Club in Washington, D.C.

Dr.. Allen has had a distinguished career. He was a student at Claremont College under Dr. Harry Jaffa, one of the leading Abraham Lincoln scholars, and then served as professor there from 1972 to 1992.

During the Reagan Administration, Professor Allen served on the Civil Rights Commission, and was, for some time, its chairman. He actively worked for a color-blind society and was vigorous in his opposition to affirmative action programs and programs calling for racial quotas.

Now a professor of political science at Michigan State University, Bill is the editor of George Washington, A Collection, and serves as a Senior Fellow at the Institute for Responsible Citizenship where he lectures to the outstanding minority male students who attend its sessions at Georgetown University. In Michigan, he has been active in campaigning for an end to race-based affirmative action programs.
