Flora Terah is speaking at Osgoode Hall Law School this Wednesday (March 3rd) at 12:30 p.m., in Room 107. Â Â The talk is sponsored jointly by Osgoode’s Institute for Feminist Legal Studies and York’s Harriet Tubman Institute for Research on the Global Migrations of African Peoples.
Flora is one of the world’s great inspirational leaders.  She ran for Parliament in Kenya in 2007, but during the campaign period, she was abducted and tortured.  When she refused to withdraw from the election, her only son was murdered.  She plans to run again in 2012.  She needs the support of all Canadians and all of us at York.  This is what being at a university is all about, having a chance to meet people like Flora and hear their stories.  She told me she feels safe as long as she has international support and recognition.  Come out and listen this Wednesday.  It may change the way you view the world and your place in it.  Here’s a transcript of an interview with Flora, on the occasion of the publication of her book,  They Never Killed My Spirit, But They Killed My Only Child.
Here is the poster. See you there. Â David
