~ Desmond Tutu
MURRAY STATE UNIVERSITY
2010 Presidential Lecture
Archbishop Desmond Tutu
Monday, Feb. 22, 2010 • 7 p.m
Lovett Auditorium
Murray State University
Free and open to the public
Presented by the Student Government Association,
MSU Foundation and President Randy J. Dunn
As the issue of apartheid intensified, Tutu became heavily embroiled
in the controversy, speaking out against the injustices of the system.
For several years he was denied a passport to travel abroad. He
became a prominent leader in the crusade for justice and racial conciliation in South Africa, and received a Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of his extraordinary contributions to that cause in 1984.
A retired Archbishop of Cape Town, Tutu was granted the honorary
title of Archbishop Emeritus in 1996. In recent years, he has turned
his attention to a different cause – the campaign against HIV/AIDS.
The archbishop has made appearances around the globe to help
raise awareness of the disease and its tragic consequences in human lives.
Tutu’s visit to Murray is scheduled for Monday, Feb. 22, at 7 p.m., in
Murray State’s Regional Special Events Center. Previous series speakers
– Richard Norton Smith, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Benazir Bhutto, Lech
Walesa and F.W. deKlerk – addressed audiences in the historic Lovett
Auditorium where the lecture series has traditionally been staged.
Due to overwhelming response, however, the venue has been changed
to the RSEC to accommodate a larger audience. This lecture series
provides this region’s population with an unusual opportunity to come
face-to-face with world leaders. The lecture is free and open to all.
