Professors Larry Shore and Tami Gold’s film was a catalyst for a memorial plaque

Memorial Plaque at University of the Witwatersrand

We were pleased to hear that the screening and discussion of “RFK in the Land of Apartheid: A Ripple of Hope” in the Great Hall at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg in April 2011 acted as a catalyst for a memorial plaque at Wits. (Larry’s undergraduate alma mater).
