    This symposium brings together individuals whose work reinforces that of Beatrice Mtetwa. They stand as witnesses to the power of a personal commitment to justice and to the work of The Carter Center; The National Center for Civil and Human Rights; the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights; Amnesty International, U.S.A.; and to the importance of a free press. Through their reflections on Beatrice Mtetwa and the challenges faced in the human rights struggle, they will explore our mutual endeavors to build communities of trust that are affirmed by the rule of law.
