A screening of RFK IN THE LAND OF APARTHEID. A high point of the film is Kennedy's meeting with one of the unknown giants of African history - the banned President of the African National Congress, and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Chief Albert Lutuli - living under house arrest in a remote rural area. The film travels with Robert Kennedy to Soweto, South Africa's largest black township, where he meets thousands of people and gives voice to Chief Lutuli's silenced call for a free South Africa.

Following the screening, Professor James Campbell, History Dept., will moderate a

discussion with producer and co-director Larry Shore (Professor, Hunter College, CUNY)
