Join Rabbi Rachel Grant Meyer for an interview and conversation with
prize-winning poet and writer Harriet Levin Millan about her novel How Fast Can You Run . This powerful novel is based on the life of Michael Majok Kuch, a South
Sudanese refugee who Millan helped reunite with his family after meeting him in
Philadelphia through her teaching job at Drexel University.
In addition to learning more about Michael’s journey, the triumphs and
challenges he faced, and how his story connects to those of the nearly 80
million refugees and displaced people worldwide, we will also explore the
intersections between racial justice and immigrant justice and how standing with
contemporary refugees can reconnect us to our own family histories and stories.
