Nobel Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu will travel to Hartford to deliver the World Youth Peace Summit kickoff address on Friday evening, May 20, at the XL Center. The Archbishop will be joined by famed saxophonist Branford Marsalis, who will perform a concert following Archbishop Tutu's speech. The following morning, Archbishop Tutu will serve as Grand Marshal of the Connecticut Peace Walk, a walk that will step off in West Hartford and move into Hartford. We are expecting thousands at both events.
