| Nobel
Peace Prize Nominee Kathy Kelly to Speak at Assumption College
January, 2005—Three-time
Nobel Peace Prize nominee Kathy Kelly will discuss the subject "Endless
War in Iraq?" on February 9, 2005 at 7:30 p.m. in the Auditorium
of La Maison Francaise. This lecture will be followed by a question
and answer period.
Kelly is a cofounder of the Chicago-based group Voices in the Wilderness.
Since 1996, Voices has worked to end the US/UN economic sanctions
against Iraq and now to achieve a just and lasting peace for all
Iraqis. Since Voices' inception, Ms. Kelly has traveled to Iraq
on more than 25 occasions, each trip in deliberate violation of
US law. Along with a small group of Voices delegates, Ms. Kelly
spent the entirety of "Shock and Awe" in Baghdad, living
in the midst of ordinary Iraqi citizens.
This lecture is free and open to the public. For more information,
please contact Ken Hannaford-Ricardi at (508) 831-3622, or at metta@earthlink.net.
