Home Away from Home: Remembering Refugees in Florida
September 20 | 6:00 PM
Pugh Hall Ocora (Atrium area on the first floor)
Seyeon Hwang, a doctoral student at UF, will present her oral history interviews with refugees resettled in Jacksonville and moderate a discussion with a panel of refugees based in Jacksonville and Miami. The program will also highlight national efforts for refugee advocacy in celebration of the Welcoming Week (Sep. 14-23), an event designated to bring communities together to raise awareness of the benefits of welcoming immigrants, refugees, and native-born residents in American cities by a non-profit, non-partisan organization, Welcoming America. This event is supported by the Florida Humanities Council.
This event is part of the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program Events.
