Nelson Mandela's grandson speaks at Drury

By Admin, Section Events
Posted on Mon Oct 22, 2007 at 07:39:54 AM EST

Date: Oct 25, 2007

Description: If one person from the last half-century-plus knows anything about peace, it's Nelson Mandela. We presume that spirit has been passed on to his children and grandchildren. Today we'll get proof, as Prince Cedza Dlamini, Mandela's grandson, speaks on "Sharing Ubuntu with the World" at Drury's Clara Thompson Hall at 11 a.m.

Ubuntu is an African term encompassing respect, integrity and tolerance. The speech is part of Drury's 2007-08 convocation series, titled Hope & Action. Admission is free.

Cost: Free
Location: Clara Thompson Hall
900 N. Benton Ave.
Springfield, MO

The Urban Neighborhoods Alliance is hosting a forum this Thursday at 7:00 pm at Big Momma's (217 E. Commercial) regarding the ordinance that is being developed to address outside amplified music for center city. This ordinance will have an impact on Grant Beach with the development of Commercial Street as a venue for live music. How loud and when outdoor music will be allowed outside will be addressed in this ordinance. This forum is designed to acquire citizen input on the ordinance. Please plan to attend this forum.
