Why Didn't You Hear About Haiti...?

INVISIBLE CONFLICTS PRESENTS: 
Speakers Forum on the Past, Present and Future of Haiti


Why didn't you hear about Haiti before January 12th? Come join us on Monday, February 1st in Finnegan Auditorium at 8PM to find out why the situation in Haiti is an invisible conflict. 

Speakers include:

Dr. John Dongohue, a history professor at Loyola University. Dr. Dongohue will be speaking about Haiti in a historical context, and will explain why the nation was nearly destroyed by a 7.2 magnitude earthquake - the same magnitude quake which only killed 63 people in San Francisco in 1989. 

Dr. Goheen is a film professor at Loyola, and was recently in Haiti. He will be speaking of his experience in the country and describing its modern day situation.

Invite your friends to the Facebook event HERE.
