The Empower Series: Emmanuel Jal. RSVP. All events in our “Empower” series this fall are designed to bring as much energy and commitment to the ethics of difference and inclusion on our campus as is generated around, say, social entrepreneurship or sustainability. Emmanuel Jal, former child soldier, hip‐hop artist, peace activist will perform and speak as part of this series, but also as the featured speaker for all Arts and Humanities Foundation sections this fall. Most of those courses will use the documentary WAR CHILD, about his life, as well. Watch his TED talk here:
http://www.ted.com/talks/emmanuel_jal_the_music_of_a_war _child.html http://www.myspace.com/emmanueljal cosponsored by Arts and Humanities Division as AHF performer, required for all students Emmanuel Jal was born in war‐torn Sudan, and while he doesn’t know exactly when, he believes it was in the early 1980s. He was taken from his family home in 1987 when he was six or seven years old, and sent to fight with the rebel army in Sudan’s bloody civil war. For nearly five years, he was a “child warrior,” put into battle carrying an AK‐47 that was taller than he was. By the time he was 13, he was a veteran of two civil wars and had seen hundreds of his fellow child soldiers reduced to taking unspeakable measures as they struggled to survive on the killing fields of Southern Sudan. After a series of harrowing events, he was rescued by a British aid worker (Emma McCune) who smuggled him into Nairobi to raise him as her own.” Jal is also the subject of a documentary film http://www.warchildmovie.com/ and a memoir http://www.amazon.com/War‐Child‐Soldiers‐ Story/dp/0312383223/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=13 06510822&sr=8‐2
