Separate Is Never Equal
Stories of Apartheid from South Africa to Palestine, Fall 2008 National Tour
This national speaking tour will bring internationally recognized human rights advocates Rev. Eddie Makue and Diana Buttu to 11 U.S. cities between November 10th and 23rd, 2008. Cities the tour will visit are: Dearborn, Milwaukee, Chicago, Boulder, Los Angeles, Louisville, Sterling (VA), and New York. See below for dates and details...
Faith communities, the African-American community, and students will be the heart of this tour, as we work to educate Americans about the similarities between life under South Africa's apartheid regime and life for Israelis and Palestinians living under the Israeli government's ethnic separation policies.
