Summary: The Bill Green Lecture Series memorializes Bill Green (1929-2002), who represented the East Side of Manhattan in Congress from 1978 to 1992.

Rep. Green, a Republican, was an independent thinker who frequently crossed the aisle to collaborate on critical issues such as the environment, urban policy, and affordable housing. He served as a trustee of The New School and a board member of Milano.

This lecture series, which pays tribute to his deep commitment to bipartisanship, is generously funded by the Taconic Foundation, on whose board he also served - The New School
