Clarion-Ledger Highlights Millsaps Efforts to Aid Sudanese Refugees in Mississippi

The [Jackson] Clarion-Ledger devoted most of the front of its "Perspective" section on Sunday, May 28, 2006, to local efforts to aid refugees from the Sudan who migrated to Mississippi. Much of this coverage focused on the Millsaps-Sudan connection; one article, by columnist Sid Salter, described the ongoing efforts (under the leadership of Millsaps English Professor Dr. Greg Miller) to help these immigrants. Another piece by recent Millsaps graduate and Sudanese "lost boy" Deng Mabil describes his reflections on his long journey from despair to hope.
