Mondiant Dogon, a Bagogwe Tutsi born in the Democratic Republic of Congo, was 3 years old when he and his family escaped certain death in Rwanda. They would spend decades in United Nations tent cities. Drawing from these personal experiences, Dogon opens a new, different window into the plight of displaced people in Those We Throw Away Are Diamonds: A Refugee’s Search for Home. En Invisible Child: Poverty, Survival & Hope in an American City, periodista ganador del Premio Pulitzer Andrea Elliott follows eight years in the life of Dasani, a girl whose spirit is tested by homelessness, poverty, and racism in an unequal America. She finally escapes city life to enroll in a boarding school but must ask herself: What if leaving poverty means abandoning your family and yourself? Moderated by Nadege Green, director of community research and storytelling at the Community Justice Project.
