Former U.S. secretary of state Madeleine Albright tapped decades of international experience today to share a key life lesson with a Floyd County audience: Despite cultural, religious and political differences, people are the same the world over.

“Group identity can be changed, so it’s the individual that counts,” she said.

Albright, who served as the United States’ permanent representative to the United Nations from 1993 to 1997, is the inaugural speaker in Berry College’s new Gloria Shatto Lecture Series.

More than 800 students, faculty and guests are expected to crowd the college chapel for her address on the current Middle East crisis and her latest book, “The Mighty and the Almighty — Reflections on America, God and World Affairs.”
