ADVISORY: Champion of enslaved children honored by 12th Annual Wallenberg Lecture ANN ARBOR—The 12th annual Raoul Wallenberg Lecture will be delivered by Kailash Satyarthi at 7 p.m. on Oct. 30 at 1800 Chemistry Building on the University of Michigan campus in Ann Arbor. The event is free and open to the public. A reception immediately follows the lecture. Since 1980, Satyarthi has dedicated himself to organizing and speaking up for the defense of thousands of children and women in bonded labor throughout South Asia. As chairman and founder of South Asian Coalition on Child Servitude, he is responsible for the emancipation of more than 34,000 children from virtual slavery and abuse. The U-M Raoul Wallenberg Endowment was established in 1985 to commemorate Wallenberg, a 1935 graduate of the U-M College of Architecture (now the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning), who saved the lives of tens of thousands of Jews during World War II. The lecture recognizes those whose own courage calls to mind Wallenberg’s extraordinary accomplishments and values. The Wallenberg Endowment and the Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies fund the U-M Raoul Wallenberg Medal and Lecture. This event is co-sponsored by the U-M Hillel Foundation.
