Paulo Freire
4:00pm

Lincoln Hall Theatre

Event Description

Every human being, no matter how ignorant or submerged in the "culture of silence," is capable of looking critically at his world through dialogue with others. He is capable of becoming conscious of his reality and dealing with it.

A teacher with profound insights into the learning process and a passion for social justice, Dr. Freire opened the gateway of literacy to South America's culture of poverty.
