Annual Lynch Lecture Series
The School for Conflict Analysis and Resolution (S-CAR) is hosting its 25th annual Lynch Lecture on October 24th, 2013. Dr. Willie Esterhuyse, a leading South African writer, philosopher and intellectual who played a significant role in opening dialogue between the “National Party Progressive,” ANC, and the apartheid government, will be addressing the S-CAR community. For his contribution in helping to end apartheid, he received the Albert Luthuli National Order (silver) from the South African government and an honorary doctorate from Stellenbosch University. Esterhuyse has lectured and contributed to improve the United States-South Africa relationship during difficult times. Leader in his field, Mr. Esterhuyse spent his life fighting for equality and educating the world about social justice. His book, Apartheid Must Die (1979), critiqued by some Africans, received a prestigious prize for political literature.
