On Monday, August 24, Voice of Witness was featured on KALW’s Your Call, a call-in show hosted by Rose Aguilar that focuses on politics, culture, dialogue, and debate.
Listeners had an opportunity to call in with questions for us. The conversation included both core Voice of Witness staff and one of our book editors:
- Cofounder and Executive Director Mimi Lok
- Education Program Director Cliff Mayotte
- Peter Orner, editor of Underground America: Narratives of Undocumented Lives, and co-editor of Hope Deferred: Narratives of Zimbabwean Lives and the upcoming Lavil: Voices from Post-Earthquake Port-au-Prince
They discussed the importance of sharing diverse voices and documenting contemporary human rights struggles, and Cliff announced the launch of our new Sharing History Initiative.
