Title:  Speak Truth to Power
Voices From Beyond the Dark
by Ariel Dorfman

"What I want,what I've hoped for all my life,
is that my past should not
become your children's future"
-Elie Wiesel

Show Dates: October 12

"In a world where there is a common lament
that there are no more heroes, too often
cynicism and despair are perceived as evidence
of the death of moral courage. That perception
is wrong. People of great valor and heart,
committed to noble purpose, with long records
of personal sacrifice, walk among us in every
country of the world."
-Kerry Kennedy

Kerry Kennedy
Author, President of the Board
Kerry Kennedy started working in the field of human rights in 1981 when she investigated abuses committed by U.S. immigration officials against refugees from El Salvador. Since then, her life has been devoted to the fight for equal justice, to the promotion and protection of basic rights, and to the preservation of the rule of law. She is the author of SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER, a book of profiles of fifty-one human rights defenders around the world. She has led over forty human rights delegations to more than thirty countries. At a time of diminished, her life and lectures are testaments to the commitment to public service and the basic values of human rights.

Kennedy is on the Board of Directors of the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial, a non-profit organization that addresses the problems of social justice. She established the RFK Center for Human Rights to ensure the protection of rights codified under the U.N. Declaration of Human Rights. The Center provides an ongoing base of support to leading human rights defenders around the world. The Center uncovers and publicizes abuses such as torture, disappearances, repression of free speech, and child labor; urges Congress and the U.S. administration to highlight human rights in foreign policy, supplies activists with the resources they need to advance their work, and creates other programs to advance respect for human rights.

Kennedy has led delegations to, and negotiated with, government officials from all over the world and has worked on diverse human rights issues such as child labor, disappearances, indigenous land rights, judicial independence, freedom of expression, ethnic violence, impunity, the environment, and women's rights. Kennedy has appeared on ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN, among others, and her commentaries and articles have been widely published. Kerry Kennedy is a graduate of Brown University and Boston College Law School. She has three daughters, Cara, Mariah, and Michaela.

Eddie Adams
Photographer
Eddie Adams, winner of a Pulitzer Prize and recipient of more than five hundred international, national and local awards, is known as one of the most decorated photographers in America.  His most notable assignment was in Vietnam, where he accompanied both American and Vietnamese troops in over 150 operations. It was there, in 1968, that Adams captured the indelible image of Vietnamese General Nguyen Ngoc Loan executing a Viet Cong lieutenant at point-blank range. Adams was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for this photograph in 1969. Among the organizations to which Adams has been associated are the Associated Press and Time magazine. Adams continued to serve as a Special Correspondent for Parade Magazine for the past twenty years.

Years later, Adams experienced one of the most challenging and personally rewarding assignments of his life. He was the first to capture images of the "boat people," who were fleeing Vietnam. The photos were released and provoked an unprecedented response from the United States, including from the State Department and President Jimmy Carter. Within months, Carter had granted over 179,000 boat people entry into the United States. Adams comments, "My photographs directly and effectively communicated the urgency of the situation to Congress and the President. They provided proof that those events really happened-my pictures saved lives."

Since 1988, Adams' and his colleagues in the photography industry have held an annual event known as BARNSTORM: The Eddie Adams Photojournalism Workshop, which is held at the Adams estate’s farm in upstate New York.

Eddie Adams died on September 19, 2004.
