Here is some more info on Rigoberta Menchu's upcoming presentation. As

Good aftternoon,
The Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee, will welcome Rigoberta Menchú Tum to campus on
Friday, October 14. See announcement attached and in text format below.
The event is free, however a ticket is required as seating is limited;
pickup locations listed below. If you are interested in attending, but
live a distance from Milwaukee, let me know and we'll do our best to
track down a ticket for you. (We expect tickets to move quickly, so I
can't promise availability.) Please also note: reserved seating for
school groups is already filled, so we won't be able to accommodate
class requests.
For those campuses who have already asked to receive the program via
simultaneous webcast, we'll be sending more details in the next few days
so that you can make appropriate arrangements.
best,
Julie
