The young women use the American story-quilt form, a tradition of their new country, to share the tribal stories and customs of their families' old homeland with their multiethnic Nebraska neighbors. Several of the Sudanese-American students will participate in a panel discussion led by John Sorensen, the director of the Abbott Sisters Project, on Friday, October 1, at 5:30 pm. A pre-release screening of a rough-cut documentary film of the quilt project, being produced for Nebraska Educational Television, will follow the program.
