I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to take a selfie with the one and only, Frank LeFever... one of the greatest supporters not just for peace and justice in Congo but also the Great Lakes Region of Africa. It’s always great to be in your presence Frank. Thank you for the poems. #CongoWeek #CongoInHarlem
