Valley NAACP Chief to Lecture at Soka
The Rev. Zedar E. Broadous, president of the San Fernando Valley branch of the National Assn. for the Advancement of Colored People, will be among the speakers Thursday evening addressing the United Nations’ “International Year for the Culture of Peace” and how it applies to education, tolerance and respect for human rights.
