JOHN JAY HOMESTEAD SPEAKERS

Albie Sachs Akhil Reed Amar Annette Gordon-Reed David Rubenstein Darren Walker

Friends of John Jay Homestead is proud to sponsor two lecture series, among our other offerings: The Founders Lecture (F) is an annual members-only talk. Begun in 2004, it was sponsored by the Goodhue family, and named for Mary B Goodhue, a New York State legislator and long-time supporter of the Homestead. Beginning in 2014, the lecture has been known as the Founders Lecture, and sponsored by Michaela and Skip Beitzel. Scholars Lectures (S) are held usually in the winter, on a theme showcasing the history that can be told through the Jays and their house. The series is underwritten by a Scholars Lectures Committee.
