Join us for a documentary viewing of "A Home Called Nebraska" the story of midwestern welcome, acceptance, and unlikely friendships during a time of national anxiety and emboldened bigotry. In 2016, the conservative state of Nebraska resettled more refugees per capita than any other state.

A HOME CALLED NEBRASKA spotlights people who escaped war, torture and persecution. It also introduces the generous Nebraskans who welcomed them, taught them, celebrated with them, and helped them find jobs and houses. Today these refugees are succeeding, and are giving back to the communities that supported them.

This heartwarming documentary by Beth and George Gage (American Outrage, Bidder 70) offers hope and an antidote to racist nationalism: communities of people in Nebraska who work to dispel fear, build bridges and change their own perceptions along the way. Here is a compelling portrait of ordinary people standing up for what is right, inspiring us to do the same.

After the documentary viewing we will have a panel discussion with members from Hyde Park Refugee Project and Bethany House of Hospitality to build a deeper understanding of the in-depth challenges refugees face acclimating to the US.

This event is presented in collaboration with Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, Chi Omega Omega, Tau Mu, chapters in partnership with the Imani Pearls Development Foundation.
