JOURNEYING TOGETHER
TAKING ACTION
A Racial Justice Hero
Guest Speaker: Dr. Allan Boesak
Dr. Boesak’s involvement in public life and South Africa’s freedom struggle began in 1976 when he began to play a leading role in resistance politics in the South Africa. In 1983, he called for the formation of the United Democratic Front which would grow into the largest, nonviolent, non-racial anti-apartheid formation in the history of the struggle.
A fervent believer in direct, militant, nonviolent action, he became its most visible leader at home and abroad. He worked with President Nelson Mandela, Archbishop Tutu, and an array of African and world leaders to end apartheid. Come and hear from this racial justice visionary as together we gain a global perspective on this critical issue.
