Haiti in Crisis

Thursday, December 9, 2004
Art 113
11:40 AM

Paul Miller, local peace and justice advocate will share a DVD, Haiti: Eye of the Storm, from his December 2003 trip to Haiti, shortly before the forced removal of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. His delegation met with Haitian peace and justice organizations.

The video features footage of Father Gérard Jean-Juste who was recently released from jail after an international outcry over his imprisonment two months ago. Miller will lead a discussion about historic and current issues in Haiti.

Paul Miller has traveled yearly to Haiti as a member of volunteer mission groups and as the leader of peace and justice delegations. In January 2005, he will again lead a peace and justice delegation from St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church to Haiti.
