Description

In 1967, the Nigerian province of Biafra declared its independence, which triggered a long civil war. The People-to-People program in the Husky Union Building (HUB) at the University of Washington sponsored a panel to discuss the issue of the Nigerian Civil War (also known as the Nigerian-Biafran War). William Lavender spoke on behalf of the Nigerian federation while Isaac Okeke spoke on behalf on the Biafrans, who he described as the victims of genocide.
