Crisis at the Border Part 1
In this first segment of our Building Leaders podcast, Crisis at the Border, we discuss the history of the US-Mexican border and its ripple effects within our community. In this first episode, students hold a freewheeling discussion concerning their first impressions of border issues, xenophobia, and racism. While the border crisis in its current form has spanned decades, the quintessential image of children being held in brutal conditions within US detention centers have now spanned the terms of two US presidents (Donald Trump and Joe Biden). As youth and the future leaders of the United States, it's important that we join this crucial conversation. Listen in on our organic discussion as we place ourselves in the shoes of youth who are currently being held in these immigrant detention centers and share our families' stories.
