Doctors Without Borders Free, Interactive Exhibition on the Global Refugee Crisis

Doctors Without Borders is bringing its free, interactive exhibition – Forced From Home – to Minneapolis’s The Commons (next to US Bank Stadium) from Sunday 9/9 through Sunday 9/16. Forced From takes visitors behind the headlines and statistics to share the real stories of those who have been forced to leave their homes around the world.
