Archbishop Thabo Makgoba
The Garvey Lecture
‘Forgiveness Made Concrete:
Lessons from the South African Experience’
Friends University, Wichita
3 April 2009
Thank you for the invitation to give the Garvey Lecture. It is a great privilege and honour. I am particularly grateful to Dr Dixie Madden, and her colleagues at the Garvey Institute of Law, for all they have done to make me feel so welcome.
I am particularly glad to be able to come to Kansas, to Wichita – a part of the US I have not visited before. Though I must say, when I saw news of last weekend’s blizzards, I wondered if I was going to make it!
My task today is to speak about ‘Forgiveness Made Concrete: Lessons from the South African Experience.’
