Eddie Daniels, South African anti-apartheid activist and former political prisoner, will speak on Wednesday, Oct. 17 at 4 p.m. in the Bernie Dallas Room of the Goodell Building.
Daniels will be introduced by John Cunningham, interim chief executive officer of UMassOnline in the UMass President’s Office.
Born and raised in the “coloured” district of Cape Town, Daniels worked as a whaler, miner and photographer before he joined the Liberal Party in response to the injustices he saw around him.
