HIAS Book and Film Club August Meeting: How Fast Can You Run
Rabbi Rachel Grant Meyer, HIAS Rabbi-in-Residence
Harriet Levin Millan, Author
August 14 | Friday | 12:00pm-1:00pm ET
Webinar (registration required)
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.
