The hard-charging diplomat speaks at the CAROLA event.Students, faculty and guests gathered earlier this month to hear remarks by F. Allen “Tex” Harris, a career diplomat who influenced State Department policy on human rights. In an event organized by the Center for Rule of Law in the Americas (CAROLA), the affable Harris spoke about his experiences as a political officer for the US Embassy to Argentina in the 1970s. Harris helped the State Department gain a clearer picture of the worsening state of human rights in Argentina at the time.
