Berry hosts human rights activist tonight

Submitted by Berry College

ROME — Human rights activist Loung Ung will share her perspective on the Cambodian genocide during a special presentation scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 28, in the Berry College science auditorium. Her lecture is being sponsored by Berry’s Conson Wilson Lecture Series and is free and open to the public.

Ung is the author of “Lucky Child” and “First They Killed My Father: a Daughter of Cambodia Remembers,” a national bestseller and recipient of the 2001 Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature.

Ung’s presentation will focus on her experiences growing up in pre-Khmer Rouge Cambodia in the early 1970s, life under the Khmer Rouge, her escape at the age of 10 and subsequent adjustment to life in America. The presentation will also include a discussion on land mines and Ung’s activism as spokeswoman for the Campaign for a Landmine-Free World.

For more information about this event, please contact Kirsten Taylor, Conson Wilson Lecture Series chair, at (706) 368-5681.
