African Immigrants in the U.S.

press release: While sharing his own experience and perspective on immigration issues in the United States, Cherif Correa will illustrate their complexity and implications — too often absent in such discussions — by referring to:

·        “My personal experience”...

·        Discussions “in my African Literature class at Madison College” and... 

·  “An encounter I had with a Senegalese immigrant who was being deported to Senegal.”

Kid-friendly, free public lecture, no reservations or tickets needed
