 Hey everyone, you're about to watch a video that's going to get thousands of views. Very cool, but your ad needs to be right here. Give me a call. Social worker Amira Barum, who has worked with many diverse and vulnerable groups in Palestine, the UK and the United States, visited the Big Sandy Community and Technical Colleges Pikeville campus on Tuesday, October 3rd. My speaking engagements have been across five states and just speaking to people, even in the Presbyterian church, people who are here sometimes don't get the full picture. Barum spoke to staff and students about the ongoing issues between Palestine and Israel and brought to light ways they could invoke change. The system that exists for us and has existed since 1948 has been very oppressive, very discriminatory, keeping the Palestinian people under very tight control. College students are the future, you know, they are the young people of today who will be the leaders of tomorrow, so that's important to sort of contribute a little bit to their learning. Barum's presentation at the college was informative and provided insight into the lives of those living in Palestine. For Mountain Top News, I'm Kelsey Dean.
