The Voices: A Library Lecture Series Committee is pleased to present “Behind the Swoosh: Sweatshops and Social Justice” by Jim Keadyon Thursday, March 20 from noon to 12:50 p.m. in the BTC Auditorium.
For many students and athletes across the world, owning a pair of Nike sneakers is a symbol of status. But do they consider who has made their sneakers? Jim Keady, director of Educating for Justice, spent one month in an Indonesian slum living with Nike factory workers on $1.25 a day, a typical living wage paid to these workers. In this presentation, Keady shares his stories and his decade-long effort to end sweatshop abuses, while informing audience members how they can get involved and join this fight for justice. This interactive, multi-media event includes role-playing, powerful video footage and a question-answer period.
This presentation will be video streamed at:
