The ambassador’s talk is part of the Ruth First Memorial Lecture Series, which is named in the memory of a heroic South African Jewish woman who was assassinated because she was one of the first whites to speak out strongly against apartheid. Professor of African and Afro-American Studies Wellington Nyangoni will speak about Ms. First's life prior to Ambassador Nhlapo's address.
