Three time Nobel Peace Prize nominee Kathy Kelly will speak in the
Maison Auditorium at Assumption College, 500 Salisbury Street, Worcester,
on Wednesday, February 9th, at 7:30 PM.
She will speak on the subject “Endless War in Iraq?” The
talk is free and open to the public. A question and answer session will
follow.
Kathy 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 event is sponsored by Assumption College’s Peace Studies
Committee. For further information, contact Ken Hannaford-Ricardi at
