You are cordially invited to attend the Whitehall Public Library's premiere of a photographic portrait and stories exhibit featuring members of Whitehall's refugee population on Monday, July 21 at 7 p.m. at Whitehall Borough Community Room, 100 Borough Park Dr.
This is a cooperative project among the Whitehall Public Library, The Greater Pittsburgh Literacy Council, South Hills Interfaith Ministries, and professional portrait photographer Rich Waters. All involved work with South Hills-area refugees. They are dedicated to increasing public awareness and highlighting their community's unique diversity.
This exhibit was devloped to travel. If you are interested in hosting the exhibit (or a portion thereof) in your area, please contact the Whitehall Public Library at www.whitehallpubliclibrary.org or 412-882-6622.
The Refugee Portraits and Stories initiative was made possible by the 2013 Maggie Forbes Community Engagement Award presented to the Whitehall Public Library by the Allegheny County Library Association. The award was underwritten by the Jack Buncher Foundation.
