Mark Bixler, a reporter for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, spent time with several of these young men who resettled in Atlanta with the IRC's help. He shares his reflections in the critically acclaimed book, 'The Lost Boys of Sudan.' On Tuesday, July 19th at 7pm, Bixler will join Jacob Magor, one of the Lost Boys, and Robert Carey, the IRC’s vice president of resettlement, to discuss the Lost Boys and the IRC's U.S. refugee resettlement work in New York and 21 other cities. The event takes place at Barnes & Noble Union Square (33 East 17th Street, Manhattan) and is free and open to the public. Posted By: Kathleen Sands | Refugees in the U.S. Permalink |
