    In MeMorIaM J. Wayne FrederIcks 1917-2004 One’s usefulness depends upon one’s living up to one’s ideals insofar as one can,” observed “Theodore Roosevelt. By this caliper, J. Wayne Fredericks’ life was an example to all. His ideals were inspiring, and he inspired all who knew him with his ability to live up to his high ideals. Listen to Nelson Mandela: “The role Wayne played both during the apartheid era and thereafter will never be forgotten. In his quiet and unassuming way, he made sure that not only South Africa but the whole of Africa was placed and remained on the agenda of those in office. We give thanks to God Almighty that Wayne lived a fulfilled life and touched millions directly or indirectly. His legacies will live forever and continue to inspire present and future generations. Africa will remain grateful to a man who believed in her capabilities, freedom, and future.” At Wayne Fredericks’ memorial service, these words were uttered by Archbishop Desmond M. Tutu: “I’m glad, dear Wayne, that you lived to see the fruits of your endeavors in the fray of this injustice and oppression when South Africa became free. We owe you a great deal. We thank God for you; for your quiet gentleness and your immovable persistence in the fight for justice, equity, goodness, and compassion. I bring you the gratitude of millions of my compatriots.” Wayne Fredericks was a superb director of the Foreign Policy Association. His counsel was golden. He taught me many things. Above all, he taught me that our vocation in this world is a life well lived.

    Foreign Policy Association www.fpa.org 2010 – 2011 Annual Report The mission of the Foreign Policy Association has remained constant since the founding of the organization in 1918. FPA serves as a catalyst for developing awareness, understanding, and informed opinion on U.S. foreign policy and global issues. Through learning programs designed for a broad cross-section of Americans, meetings and events organized to advance public discourse, and authoritative resources compiled to build international understanding, FPA encourages effective public participation in the U.S. foreign policy process. After 93 years of serving an inclusive demographic and geographic constituency, the Foreign Policy Association is widely acknowledged as a leader in advancing public learning and stimulating national discussion about today’s most pressing current international challenges. American lives become more deeply connected to the world around us each year: the food we eat and clothes we wear, the technology we utilize, the fuel we consume, the entertainment we enjoy, and other significant aspects of our lives link us to countries abroad. Understanding the cultures, economies, and policies of other countries is increasingly imperative. Yet recent surveys find that: 75 percent of young Americans cannot find either Iran or Israel on a map of the Middle East 80 percent do not know that India is world’s most populous democracy 75 percent do not know that a majority of Indonesians are Muslim The Foreign Policy Association is committed to expanding opportunities for Americans to learn about the world. Please visit www.fpa.org for an overview of the many ways that FPA engages people of diverse ages and interests in learning about global affairs and U.S.
