Human rights activist and Nobel laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa will visit Burlington later this month to deliver a lecture at the University of Vermont. Archbishop Tutu will speak on Race Relations and World Peace on March 29, at 3 p.m. in Patrick Gymnasium. The event is free and open to the public, but tickets are required.

Community members may pick up tickets at the Fletcher Free Library in Burlington (open 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM) while they last - limit of two tickets per person.

UVM students, faculty and staff may get one ticket each with their identification card at the UVM Athletic Ticket Office in Patrick Gym. Note that the ticket office will be closed on Friday, March 18 and Monday, March 21

Public parking for the event will be at the Sheraton Conference Center, with shuttles to the campus provided by UVM.

Archbishop Tutu was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984 for his contributions to racial justice and the pursuit of racial harmony. His speech at the laureate ceremony made amply clear that injustice and violence still reigned in South Africa and in many other places throughout the world. He also decried nations engaged in "a mad arms race, spending billions of dollars wastefully on instruments of destruction, when millions are starving."
