Albie Sachs, former justice of South Africa’s Constitutional Court, will speak on "Presidents & Power: How South Africa's Highest Court Held Nelson Mandela and Two Other Presidents Accountable to the Constitution." Sachs made legendary contributions to South Africa’s anti-apartheid struggle, living in exile in the U.K. and Mozambique, drafting a Bill of Rights while in exile, surviving an assassination attempt, and serving on South Africa’s Constitutional Court at President Mandela’s request. A reception at 4:30 p.m. will precede his talk and a book signing will follow. This lecture is presented as part of FSU's Ruth K. and Shepard Broad International Lecture Series.

Sachs’ visit is sponsored by the FSU College of Arts and Sciences, the FSU Department of Religion, the FSU Department of Philosophy, the FSU College of Social Sciences and Public Policy, the FSU College of Law, the FSU Center for the Advancement of Human Rights and the FSU Office of the Provost.
