Young Navajo in the southwest grapple with a traumatic chapter in US history.
): Young Navajo in the southwest grapple with a traumatic chapter in US history.
''Nobody shares these stories with me, and I don’t understand why I feel the way I feel. I want to know what happened.''
We learn how the story of the 1864 Long Walk slipped from US history; we dig into the legacy of the Chinese Exclusion Act; a House for Sale sign appears in France and brings back a flood of memories for a New Jersey real estate agent; a museum holds writing workshops for Holocaust survivors; and jazz musician Guillermo Nojechowicz sets his family’s immigrant story to music.
