Penn State Altoona's office of Institutional Equity, Diversity, and International Student Services presented Quay Hanna on Tuesday, September 18, 2012 in the TV Lounge of the Slep Student Center.

In 1993, Hanna set out on a mission to see America. He hopped on a Greyhound bus and began traversing the country. As he traveled, he was forced to confront his own racist and prejudiced beliefs, making him realize that he had more to offer the world than his lifelong hatred of others. Upon his return, Hanna had a new objective: to reach out to his subculture - rural, white America – and to challenge racist beliefs as his were challenged on the trip.
