City of Sydney
Peace Prize Lecture 2009
“Breaking the Australian Silence”
by John Pilger
It is said that a prophet is without honour in his own country. This year, the Sydney Peace Foundation and the City of Sydney confound that saying by honouring John Pilger’s journalism, books and films and all they have contributed to the struggle for peace with justice.
You are invited to attend John’s City of Sydney Peace Prize Lecture, “Breaking the Australian Silence”, at 8pm on Thursday, 5 November, in the Concert Hall of the Sydney Opera House.
John’s lecture will be followed by the Aboriginal baritone, Kutcha
Edwards, singing Sam Cooke’s famous 1960s anthem, A Change is Gonna Come.
Thursday, 5 November 2009, 8.00 pm
Concert Hall, Sydney Opera House
Tickets from Opera House (02) 9250 7777
