Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.

Presented with Explore Booksellers

Featuring Lee T. Bycel, author of Refugees in America: Stories of Courage, Resilience, and Hope in Their Own Words. Bycel’s book follows the lives of eleven men and women; each from a different country with a different story of resilience, suffering, and determination. Bycel gives a voice to refugees from Poland, South Sudan, El Salvador, Vietnam, and other regions, finding commonalities that emerge from the refugee experience, and shining a light on the real people at the center of political debates about US immigration.

Book signing to follow.
