WORCESTER, MA—In early 2006, the British Broadcasting Corp. (BBC) aired "Facing the Truth," a three-part television series that brought together victims and perpetrators of the conflict in Northern Ireland. Their dialogue was facilitated by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, as well as Donna Hicks, former Deputy Director of the Program on International Conflict Analysis and Resolution at Harvard University. Clark will screen the film at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 27, in the Grace Conference Room, Higgins University Center. Hicks will be on hand to facilitate a discussion following the screening.
This free, public event is part of Clark's Difficult Dialogues Program, funded by a major Ford Foundation grant and aimed at creating a culture of dialogue on campus.
