Green Card Youth Voices: Immigration Stories from an Atlanta High School is our first publication from the Southern United States, unique in that it features the narratives of six DACA-recipient students, or Dreamers, and is actually the story of three Atlanta high schools, ensuring a diversity in voice between essays.
The book has received many high level endorsements on a national level, ranging from the Executive Directors of Welcoming America and the Latin American Association, to the Massachusetts Attorney General’s office, to university professors and presidents from across the country.
This publication was made possible through partnerships with Kennesaw State University (KSU), Latin American Association and members of the Welcoming America.
On May 13, 2018, Green Card Youth Voices: Immigration Stories from an Atlanta High School was officially released during our launch celebration at the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia. Each author read an excerpt from their personal essay, and the Atlanta Traveling Exhibit was unveiled for the first time.
