Selalelo: South Sudanese Immigrants and Challenges (Read More)
The Selalelo project is a virtual transatlantic bridge between Nebraska and Southern Africa that facilitates the exchange of ideas and cultural best practices, creates unity, and expands common understanding of anti-racism. “Selalelo” is a Setswana word meaning supper. The sessions, held in person and online at alternating lunch and dinner times to accommodate participants across continents, will include lectures, presentations, book discussions, panel discussions, and table talks. On November 13, Pastor Tut. T. Keat will talk about South Sudanese immigrants in the community and African Americans' challenges. Discussion will include an overview of current relations, challenges, and how to increase positive social engagement. Rev. Keat is the Executive Director of New Life Family Alliance, a human services agency that helps families in the community. A'Jamal Byndon, Chairman of the Board of MORE, will moderate this dialogue and allow participants to raise concerns related to international issues. The event is free, but registration is required.
