Bono, Judd to Speak on 'Africa's Future and Ours'
The E.N. Thompson Forum on World Issues offers its fourth lecture of the 2002-2003 season on Sunday evening, Dec. 1, with Bono, founder of DATA (Debt, AIDS, Trade in Africa) and member of the rock band U2 and actress Ashley Judd on AIDS, debt relief and other issues afflicting the people of Africa.
Bono is known around the world as U2's frontman; his role as a humanitarian leader has put him at the center of a very different stage: as an advocate for involvement in solutions to the interlocking crises afflicting the people of Africa.
Bono's diplomatic portfolio is impressive. He has met with U.S. congressmen of both parties, and spent ten days last May touring Sub-Saharan Africa with Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill. In New York on Nov. 18, the Simon Wiesenthal Center honored Bono with the center's highest honor, its Humanitarian Laureate Award. The Lied Center appearance opens DATA's 'Heart of America Tour.' Dec. 1 is World AIDS Awareness Day.
A cooperative project of the Cooper Foundation and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the E.N. Thompson Forum on World Issues began in 1988 as the Cooper-UNL Forum on World Issues, with a mission of promoting better understanding of world events and issues by Nebraskans. In 1990, the name of the series was changed in honor of E.N. 'Jack' Thompson, a 1933 graduate of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and chairman of the Cooper Foundation.
Other sponsors of the lecture are Save Sub-Saharan Orphans, the University Program Council, the Chancellor's Office and the Lied Center for Performing Arts.
Tickets for the event were made available at 11am last Friday morning, and were gone in less than 20 minutes. It will be streamed live on this site in QuickTime and Real formats, and will be broadcast on Lincoln cable channel 21, KRNU 90.3, and UNL campus television.
