Cindy Sheehan

Nobel Peace Prize nominee and international figurehead Cindy Sheehan spoke on campus on Tuesday. I did not know what to expect, but I was absolutely blown away. She was funny, passionate, articulate, and on a mission.

She spoke at a convocation that was a part of Augsburg's "Many Voices," a series of lectures. Hers was titled "One Person Can Make a Difference," and she really proved that. She spoke on matters of contemporary political and personal concern, and talked about her religious beliefs and how those impact her work as a peace and social justice advocate.

Also, on an entirely different note: last night I saw the film Pan's Labyrinth. I would HIGHLY recommend this provocative film to anyone.
