Palestinian Villagers Honored
Transcribed from the clipping
Christian Peacemaker Teams coordinator Gene Stoltzfus introduces the Harriet Hanson award, which the Chicago-based peace and justice agency Synapses recently gave to the unrecognized Palestinian villages in Israel.
Accepting the award on behalf of the villagers during Synapses’ 10th anniversary observance was Anna Mustapha, the only Arab member of the Chicago board of education. Synapses honored the Palestinian villages for their organized non-violent effort to survive and become recognized so they can receive such basic services as water, electricity and schools.
Stoltzfus and other CPT members met many of the villagers during a CPT visit to Israel in June. Stoltzfus is scheduled to present the award in person during a Synapses-sponsored visit to Israel and Palestine this month.
How this transcription was made
Read from the scan by a machine looking at the image of the page, not by optical character recognition and not by a person. The clipping carries no masthead or date line, so its date and newspaper rest on the record it arrived with, not on anything visible in the scan.
Context added by this archive
Date check: No masthead or date line is visible on this clipping — the scan is cropped to the photograph and its caption only, so the 1991-10-31 date could not be confirmed against the page.
