Nebot's mission is to inspire personal and social healing and transformation through his speaking engagements, training seminars and artistic endeavors, including writing, producing, directing and acting.

"Illegal immigration is a very real concern that brings light to some of the most deeply held American values," Hill said. "These values are sometimes at odds, which leads to debate and disagreement on what it means to be a 21st century American."

This Lewis and Clark Diversity Council event is presented by the Mannie Jackson Endowment and Center for the Humanities and is a Lewis and Clark Arts and Humanities Project, with funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities. It is also free and open to the public. For more information visit www.lc.edu and search key the word diversity
