Alcena Boozer greets Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who delivered the 40th Annual Collins Lecture at the University of Portland Chiles Center. The sold-out talk was on the topic of "The Transformational Power of reconciliation in Society."
Sponsored by Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon, the speech was preceded by an invocation by Rev. Alcena Boozer, and a musical production organized by PSU Professor of Music Darrell Grant, which included Obo Addy, Michelle Fujii, Bobby Torres, Willie Grant, the Al-Andalus Ensemble, and readings by Lawson Inada, Horace Silver, Mark Mathabane and Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach
