Foreign Correspondent to Speak about Haitian Crisis
Nomi Morris, an honest-to-God foreign correspondent, who put together a special report on Haiti a few years back for the Canadian newsmagazine Macleans, will speak on the earthquake and the humanitarian crisis in Haiti tonight evening at Theater 150.
She's a friend, a good speaker, and a good answerer of questions, so I encourage the curious and the concerned of Ojai to come out and join us at Theater 150's excellent space for presentation and talkback.
Here are the details, as reported by the Star:
OJAI — Theater 150 will host journalist Nomi Morris at 7 p.m. Monday for a presentation and discussion entitled “Haiti: Where It Has Been, Where It Is Heading.”
Morris, a former Middle East bureau chief for Knight Ridder Newspapers, and a former Berlin correspondent for Time magazine, reported from Haiti after the Clinton-era intervention of the mid-1990s.
Now a resident of Ojai, she writes and speaks on current affairs, focusing on the issues behind the news headlines. Her talk will put the Haiti earthquake disaster in the context of the country’s history and decades of international aid efforts.
For details on the address, etc., please see below:
The event is part of Theater 150’s new Local Access initiative, a community service provided to residents of the Ojai Valley.
The theater is at 316 E. Matilija St.
