Public Speaking<\/h1>\n

\u201cWe are more than the prejudices of our parents and communities; we are more than the dominant stories of our societies and cultures; we are more than the limitations imposed by race, class, age, gender, political affiliation or sexual orientation. My fervent hope is that the Desmond Tutu programme will create a new generation of South African scholars who can re-author new stories, build new bridges, create new understandings, make new meanings\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
