Because of the enthusiastic response to the news that Archbishop Desmond M. Tutu is giving an open lecture at Cornell April 10, the venue for the address has been changed and free tickets now are required.
Tutu, winner of the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize for his leadership in the struggle against racial segregation in South Africa, will be the 2000 Henry E. and Nancy Horton Bartels World Affairs Fellow at Cornell April 10 and 11.
Tutu will present the Bartels Fellowship Lecture Monday, April 10, at 8 p.m., in Newman Arena of the Field House on Campus Road. Titled "Truth and Reconciliation: Toward a Just Society," the lecture is free and open to the public. Required tickets are being distributed at Willard Straight Hall and in downtown Ithaca at the Clinton House Ticket Center. A free public reception will follow the lecture in the Ramin Room of the Field House.
A 1999 PBS documentary film will be aired on campus in preparation for Tutu's visit. "Facing the Truth," with Bill Moyers, will be shown at 4:30 p.m. today, April 6, in Room 106 of the Africana Studies and Research Center, 310 Triphammer Road.
Tutu's visit to Cornell is hosted by the Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies. During his stay, he will meet with students and faculty and will teach a class in Africana studies.
