[Hamp-law] Fwd: Naomi Tutu/Public Lecture

[Flavio Risech]

Dear Colleague,

I am writing to remind you of two important 
public events this week featuring visionary 
activist and global educator Naomi Tutu. Both 
events are sponsored by the Weissman Center for 
Leadership and the Liberal Arts through its 
year-long series, Bearing Witness.

Ms. Tutu’s public lecture, Truth and 
Reconciliation: Healing the Wounds of Racism, is 
scheduled for this Thursday, 28 February, at 7:30 
p.m. in Gamble Auditorium, Art Building, at Mount 
Holyoke College.  She will discuss her coming of 
age in apartheid South Africa, her work to 
rebuild her homeland, and the challenges and 
promises of diverse societies. A book signing 
will follow. Ms. Tutu’s commitment to human 
rights, social justice, and education extends the 
work of her father, the Archbishop Desmond Tutu, 
winner of the 1984 Novel Peace Prize.

On Friday, 29 February, from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m., 
Naomi Tutu and international trainer and 
counselor Rose Bator will facilitate a Community 
Workshop in the Willits Hallowell Conference 
Center at Mount Holyoke College.  Building 
Bridges: Honest Conversation about Race is 
designed as an interactive workshop that will 
explore issues of race, differences, silence, 
stereotypes, solidarity, community, and change. 
Tutu and Bator work together as distinguished 
leaders in the field of race relations and 
reconciliation in the United States and South 
Africa.

We hope that these two events will be of interest 
to your colleagues and students.  Additional 
information can be found on our website at

Thank you in advance for helping us to make these 
events a great success.

Sincerely,

Lois Brown
