Program Description

Event Details

There are presently 80 million displaced persons around the world, a number now mounting because of the crises in Ukraine, Ethiopia, Mozambique and Burkina Faso. Listen to the plight of desperate migrants in their own voices. This presentation also includes the only script in Shakespeare’s hand: Sir Thomas More’s defense of immigrants being threatened by London mobs in 1517. Jerry Matovcik is your host.
