Archbishop Desmond Tutu will be at the USF Sun Dome at 7pm on Thursday, January 19th.

This man is one of the greatest examples of the power of forgiveness that I have seen in my whole life. He is a true hero, and inspired me greatly. To see him for free? Well, I will be there.

Here is the official blurb:

Nobel Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu will speak at the University of South Florida Sun Dome on Thursday, Jan. 19 at 7 p.m. Tutu's faith in the peaceful destiny of South Africa and his commitment to that destiny earned him the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize. For years he served as his country's voice of conscience during its long struggle against apartheid. As chairman of South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, he made the panel's initial report to then-President Nelson Mandela, marking a significant step in the nation's healing process, as well as an international reminder of the commitment to the pursuit of freedom and justice.

Admission to the lecture is free and open to the public. For more information, visit http://www.usf.edu/welcome.html and click on "calendar of events."
