Gilbert travels to Philly for History Channel Event
Gilbert travels to Philadelphia to participate in HISTORYTalks™, presented by the History Channel and COMCAST NBC Universal, where a video sharing Gilbert’ story will be part of the program. The event is a premier live speaker series that explores newsworthy topics and historical events, inviting audiences to experience history-making conversations with trailblazers, global leaders, witnesses, authors and filmmakers.
Sometimes the world can be an unfair and cruel place. Yet even amongst the worst of circumstances and in the midst of unfathomable tragedies, hope and happiness prevail.
Gilbert Tuhabonye knows this.
Gilbert has endured great suffering in his life. Yet his message isn’t one of sorrow or anger; it’s one of joy, faith and forgiveness. Driven by a desire to unleash the potential of anyone who seeks it – in running and in life – Gilbert’s indomitable spirit moves everyone he meets. He inspires others to believe that they can achieve anything, regardless of the circumstances or obstacles. He is a living reminder that humanity is greater than the sum of all the world’s injustices. And he is proof that the work of a few – or even just one – can make this world, our world, a better place.
