Gods of Noonday/The Tour
|

My parents and me, left, at a wedding, Eku area, 1963. |
Elaine Neil Orr will lecture on the twin
influences in her young life―American medical
missions and Nigerian culture. As an adult, her battle with her own
life-threatening illness led to a healing process that took her not only to
Duke Medical Center but back to West Africa.
