HIAS Book and Film Club — Asylum: A Memoir & Manifesto

In honor of Pride Month and World Refugee Day, join HIAS for a discussion with author and activist Edafe Okporo about his book Asylum: A Memoir & Manifesto.

This will be an interactive discussion, so you are encouraged to read the book before the meeting. Advance registration required. Please RSVP using the form below.
