Spring Break
The Barrett Ballroom at the Student Union was packed with an estimated 640 people waiting to hear Ishmael Beah, author of "A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier," speak of his experiences as a child soldier in Sierra Leone.
Beah found himself consumed in the middle of a civil war in Sierra Leone when the rebel army, Revolutionary United Front (RUF), raided his hometown in the southern part of the West African country in 1993.
Running from the rebel army for a year, Beah was picked up by the government army and forced into an unfathomable world as a child soldier at the age of 13. (0) comments
