Nobel Peace Prize Winner on Women's Show Saturday

Women's Show Apr 25 2009 10:00

Wangari Maathai, Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize and Founder of the Green Belt Movement.

Wangari will discuss her new book, The Challenge for Africa. She illuminates the complex and dynamic nature of Africa, and offers “hardheaded hope” and “realistic options” for change and improvement. She will discuss her 3 decades as an environmental activist and campaigner for democracy. The first African woman and environmentalist to win the world's top humanitarian award not only spurred her homeland to plant 40 million trees, but also what lessons she learned that can help citizens, countries and causes everywhere. http://www.wangarimaathai.com/
