ASSISTING IMMIGRANTS - Dr. Gary
Welborn, sociology professor at Buffalo State, is working with the Buffalo
Immigration and Refugee Empowerment Coalition (BIREC), and other educators to
reach out to the refugee community and some of the biggest issues facing
immigrant refugees coming into the West Side. Dr. Welborn is assisting BIREC to give the organization a larger presence in the community.
BIREC holds a meeting on the second Saturday of each month at the YWCA on Grant
Street to discuss topics such as higher education, public safety, immigration,
housing, employment and health care.Video By Nick Stutzman and Bryan Price.
