On Monday, February 2, 2015, the Krasno Seminar Series screened Professor Charlie Tuggle's documentary film, "Argentina's Dirty War and the U.S. (1976-83): Finding the Missing Grandchildren." Professor Tuggle introduced the film. After the screening Hodding Carter, Assistant Secretary of State and spokesperson for the State Department during the Jimmy Carter administration, answered audience questions. Hodding's wife, Patricia "Patt" Derian, was Assistant Secretary of State for Human Rights during the Carter era. In this position she helped to save thousands of lives by calling global attention to the daily torture, kidnappings and murders than occurred while the military junta was in power in Argentina (1976-83). The forum is organized by the Richard M. Krasno Distinguished Professorship in the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences, with support at UNC from the Curriculum in Peace, War and Defense, the Institute for the Arts and Humanities and UNC Global, as well as from the Triangle Institute for Security Studies and the West Triangle Chapter of the United Nations Association of the United States of America.
