On Sunday, May 19, Dr. Richard Logan will introduce us to Jewish South African anthropologist, singer-songwriter and anti-apartheid activist hero Johnny Clegg. Clegg was named the 2023-24 Humanistic Jewish Role Model by the Society for Humanistic Judaism.

The program will take place from 10 a.m.-noon at the Talmud Torah of St. Paul, 768 Hamline Ave. South in St. Paul. A social time will follow.

Logan will share the unique life story and music of Clegg to illustrate how he helped change a nation and earned the status of Humanistic Jewish Role Model.

Logan is a past-president of Or Emet and the Society for Humanistic Judaism and a retired professor of human development.
