Immigrant Stories Revealed
Every story has a setting -- the time and space in which events take place. Immigration is one of the biggest 
challenges our nation faces; we must stop to listen and tell our immigrant stories of the past and present -- the time is now, and the space is all around us.
A twenty-six minute DVD documenting the experiences of new arrivals in the United States, Immigrant Stories Revealed can be ordered by calling 651.789.2567 or by email. Cost is $15.
The study guide is free and can be downloaded here.
