BOSTON—Retired Supreme Court Justice David Souter will return to his alma mater this week to speak at Harvard's commencement.
Souter will speak Thursday at Harvard's 359th commencement, during the afternoon exercises, which serve as the annual meeting of the Harvard Alumni Association. Souter graduated from Harvard College in 1961 and received a degree from Harvard Law School in 1966.
The 70-year-old Souter retired last year after nearly two decades on the Supreme Court. Since then, he has pushed to help New Hampshire promote civics education in the public schools.
Souter was born in Massachusetts and moved to New Hampshire at age 11.
