LOUISVILLE, Ky. – A North Korean defector will be the first of three lecturers for the Fall Speaker Series at The John H. Schnatter Center for Free Enterprise at the University of Louisville College of Business.
Twenty-two-year-old Yeonmi Park will give a free, public talk on Sept. 15 at 4:30 p.m. titled, “In Order to Live: My Journey to Freedom.” It will be held in Strickler Hall’s Middleton Auditorium.
Her talk opens the series “Asia: From Communism to Capitalism” that kicks off the Center’s second year.
