Details

This event invites participants to unpack what the “American Dream” really means and who it has historically been accessible to. Through the lens of immigrant experiences, we will explore both the aspirations that draw people to the U.S. and the sacrifices often required along the way, including separation from home, culture, and community. Grounded in historical context, including exclusionary policies like the Chinese Exclusion Act, this conversation will examine how opportunity has been shaped by systemic barriers, and how different communities define and experience the “American Dream” today.
