« Teens will pair with inmates to face DUI consequences | Today | Earth Day 2008 » April 22, 2008President of Bolivia comes to BrownA farmer, llama herder, brick maker, baker, musician and now, the head of state in Bolivia; Evo Morales is coming to Providence. He is set to give the Stephen A. Ogden Jr. Memorial Lecture on International Affairs this afternoon. Morales’s speech, “From the Andes: New Visions, New Voices,” will touch on his life, from an agricultural laborer and llama herder to Bolivia’s first indigenous head of state. The lecture is set to begin at 4 p.m. in Sayles Hall on the main green. Doors will open at 3 p.m. In 19997, Morales was voted into his first national post, in 2007 he was elected president. Since then, he has said that redressing the effects of discrimination against the country’s indigenous people would be his goal. Morales's visit is part of Brown's year-long focus on Latin America. The series began in 2007 with a visit by Fernando Henrique Cardoso, former president of Brazil, and Ricardo Lagos, former president of Chile.

President Evo Morales' speech unfortunately will not be simulcast or even officially recorded for later release by the university, it seems.
As a long-time admirer of Morales, I would greatly appreciate it if someone were to record his Brown address, and offer it on-line for those of us unable to attend in person.
Who knows? Given the U.S.' antipathy toward his governance, and the ways we typically deal with those whose policies we do not agree with, it might be the last time he will be allowed to speak truth to power here in the USA.
If anyone records his address and would like to share it, please let me know at: john_rice@zoom-dsl.com
Thanks in advance,,,John
