Wood Travels To Southeast Ethiopia
Joseph Wood reports a Peace Corps member's August to September 1964 journey through Ethiopia. He describes Addis Ababa receptions for Diallo Telli and the OAU, a 11-hour Littori-Da train ride to Dire Dawa, Harar and leprosarium visits, Harar crafts, and a German-run leprosarium funded by Haile Selassie. The piece ends with the oath ceremony for the OAU Secretary-General and Tshombe's appearance at Africa Hall.
