In Fall of 2007, a friend of mine named Hudson Muñoz approached me in Red Square. At the time, he was coordinating the student group sesame (Students Educating Students About the Middle East—now renamed the Mideast Solidarity Project). Hudson invited me to be part of a project that the group wanted to develop to have a student who had been displaced from their education in Iraq finish up at Evergreen for free. “I’m all about it,” I told him. I didn’t know then what I was getting myself into.
