Join Voice of Witness and Amy Goodman in New York on March 21st

Posted on February 21, 2012

Join us in New York for ‘Evening of Witness,’ March 21st, 2012 at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine.

Hosted by Democracy Now’s Amy Goodman, this evening features narratives from the Voice of Witness series read by noted writers and activists with visual interventions from Magnum Foundation photographers and artists. Together, they offer vivid portrayals of “water” through the experiences of Zimbabwean refugees, undocumented immigrants in the U.S., Burmese migrants forced into the illegal fishing industry, and of men and women who lived through Hurricane Katrina. Click here for more information.

Voice of Witness is a non-profit organization that uses oral history to illuminate contemporary human rights crises in the U.S. and around the world. Founded by author Dave Eggers and physician/human rights scholar Lola Vollen, Voice of Witness publishes a book series that depicts human rights injustices through the stories of the men and women who experience them. The Voice of Witness Education Program brings these stories, and the issues they reflect, into high schools and impacted communities through oral history-based curricula and holistic educator support.
