Birmingham: Stateless Palestinians from the Camps in Lebanon
Thursday, March 14 6:30 pm Birmingham Civil Rights Institute 520 16th St. North Birmingham, AL Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/2283148511925107/ Mariam Fathalla, now 89 years old, has spent the last 71 years in crowded, makeshift refugee camps in Lebanon. She has raised three generations, all waiting to return to Palestine. Mariam wants to meet you. So does Amena Ashkar, a 24 year old journalist and translator. They have a different message. They do not live in Palestine. They have no citizenship anywhere. They do not live under Israeli occupation. They have a different perspective. Free admission - international snacks distributed at the end of the program. Plenty of parking available.
