Simon Deng, a former Sudanese child slave, will be speaking at Ithaca College on February 7 at 7:00 p.m. in Emerson Suite C. He will offer a first-hand narrative of slavery in the 20th and 21st centuries.
Abducted into slavery at age 9, Simon endured a brutal life as a slave before finally escaping at age 11 and going on to become an important voice in the abolitionist movement.
