Before this course, I was familiar with the immigrant stories of Mexicans, families and students. After this class, I was able to learn about other stories of immigrants coming from Latin America, and Russia.

For everyone who visits our museums, they will hear stories that will make them cry, mad, and think negative about how our society works. But it will make them realize how bad the system is and how we need to fix it. Even with all the negativity that these millions of families have been through they are still working hard and keeping a positive mind and heart to make their families live a better one, unlike the ones that they have unfortunately lived
