Episode Description

This month marks four years of war in Sudan. Nearly 14 million people are displaced, making it the largest displacement crisis in the world. Both the U.S. State Department and a United Nations fact-finding mission have called the violence a genocide. And yet, in America, there is a silence.

Sudanese American poet Khadega Mohammed joins Robyn Vincent on The Metro to talk about that silence, her work at the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn, and the identities that live in between.
