North Carolina Central University's Global Studies Program, the Department of History, and Campus Recreation will host a discussion with Lilian Thuram, the Guadeloupe-born star of the French national soccer team, on Wednesday, November 11 at 4:30 p.m. in the BRITE Building, Room 1050. Thuram represented France more than any other player in national team history, playing 142 games for his country between 1994 and 2008. He was key to the strong defensive line when France won the World Cup in 1998 and the European Championship in 2000. After retiring in 2008, Thuram started the Lilian Thuram Foundation (www.thuram.org), an organization committed to eradicating racism around the world. Thuram will hold a dialogue with NCCU students and faculty on African-American history, and will discuss sports, race, and society.
