Photo: Ibrahim Rashid. *Days after Asma Jahangir passed away in Lahore, some of us, members of what I think of as Asma's tribe, got together at Harvard to commemorate her life, impact and achievements. We had lots of flowers, and music, and chai and samosas – she loved these things and loved hosting people. The languages spoken — English, Urdu, Punjabi, Bengali and Farsi — are a testament to Asma's reach. Below, two reports about the event by students at Emerson College and Wellesley College, with video clips of some speakers' comments. All video clips online on Vimeo, courtesy Rick Brotman. Cambridge Community Television will run a full video of the event next pakistanblogs.blogspot.comRead Full Post
