Chadian Sister Engages Kansas City Youth about Peace and Justice

A woman meets young people from various backgrounds – at a U.S.
university. She is African, from Chad. The students, eager to learn
about her life, ask probing questions. She tells them about the war, her
flight, her refugee status, her experiences in West Africa and Algeria.
In turn, she discovers that they are still exposed to racism in their
country – an outrage compounded by the murders of George Floyd and
Breonna Taylor. As an activist in residence, she dialogues with the
students about their aspirations and encourages them to become artisans
of peace and justice. We look forward, in turn, to the thoughts and
writings of young people about the encounters shared here and the
illustrations by a young Kenyan woman that accompany the essays.
