Founder of #metoo movement to speak in Maryville tonight

 A social justice activist and the founder of the "me too" movement, Tarana Burke will be on the Northwest campus as part of its Distinguished Lecture Series and deliver the 2017-18 James H. Lemon Lecture at 7:30 p.m. tonight at the Mary Linn Auditorium at the Ron Houston Center for the Performing Arts. The "me too" hashtag campaign emerged as a rallying cry for people everywhere who have survived sexual assault and sexual harassment. A sexual assault survivor herself, Burke is now working under the banner of the "me too" movement to assist other survivors and individuals who work to end sexual violence. Tickets are available on the Northwest campus at the cashiering office located on the first floor of the Administration Building or on-line at www.nwmissouri.edu/rsvp/metoo .
