Survivors of the genocide in Western Sudan's Darfur region will come to Hamilton as part of a national speaking tour called "Voices from Darfur" on Wednesday, April 23, at 7 p.m. in the College Chapel. It is free and open to the public.
The "Voices from Darfur" tour seeks to ensure that the stories of Darfuri refugees affected by genocide are used to spread awareness and serve as a voice for those oppressed in Darfur. Launched in the summer of 2007, "Voices from Darfur" highlights speakers who have fled government oppression, such as Daoud Hari, who was arrested in Sudan on false espionage charges while translating for Chicago Tribune reporter Paul Salopek in Darfur in 2006. Hari will join other Darfurian refugees sharing their personal stories at Hamilton.
The "Voices of Darfur" event is hosted by Hamilton's STAND organization in association with the Save Darfur Coalition.
