Former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain will speak at the University of Michigan on Thursday, Sept. 27.

Cain is touring colleges throughout the country with a campaign called the College Truth Tour 2012 to discuss politics, the economy and unemployment and underemployment among college graduates.

He'll also visit Central Michigan University and Michigan State University on Sept. 25 and 26, respectively.

The U-M event will take place at 6 p.m. at the Power Center. The U-M student group Students for Healthcare Freedom is sponsoring the event.

Those interested can register here.

Cain has visited Washtenaw County twice in the past year, with two stops at the Big Sky Diner in Ypsilanti Township. He was campaigning on the first visit and was supporting the campaign of former U.S. Rep. Pete Hoekstra on the second trip.

Below is a video interview with Cain after the first Truth Tour event at the University of Iowa earlier this month.
