Christopher Stevens, born on April 1, 1960 in Grass Valley, California, United States, was a politician, lawyer and diplomat. Death is recorded on September 11, 2012, at the age of 52. Education on record includes Piedmont High School and University of California, Berkeley.
My Take
Christopher Stevens occupies a different register than most names in this database, and I think that is exactly why he deserves remembering. A Berkeley-trained lawyer turned career diplomat, he became U.S. Ambassador to Libya only to be killed in the Benghazi attack in September 2012, the eighth American ambassador to die in office. There is a profound courage in choosing to stand between dangerous worlds as a bridge-builder. I hold no illusion that fame and sacrifice are the same thing, but to me his life demands quiet respect from anyone who reads it. May he rest in peace.
