About Voces Sin Fronteras: Our Stories, Our Truth
Review "Courage is what strikes me most about this collection of artwork and writing... These young authors - and the thousands like them who are caught in this crisis - offer us their honesty to help us understand more fully what is at stake. I applaud their courage. I celebrate their resilience. I am, in fact, in awe of all that they are. And I am proud to stand with them." -- Meg Medina About the Author The authors of this collection are members of the Latino Youth Leadership Council of the Latin American Youth Center in Washington, DC. This group of teen immigrants from Central America and the Caribbean are dedicated to promoting cross-cultural understanding and social justice in their community.
