Over the weekend, members of the Sudanese community in Chattanooga gathered on the Walnut Street Bridge.

They showed support for the people of Sudan - among them, family and friends - now displaced and suffering because of the recent outbreak of fighting in the African nation, and as the United Nations warns of a massive refugee crisis in the region the longer the fighting continues.

Hana Karrar Ramirez came to the United States more than five years ago - and she earned a degree here on our campus, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.

Today, she is a project manager for the Chattanooga Housing Authority - and she stopped by our studio.
