Undocumented: Living in the Shadows: Webcast on April 23

Undocumented: Living in the Shadows will feature five young, undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. at a young age by parents or siblings. They will address the question, “What’s it like to grow up in America but not be an American?” and will share their concerns, fears, and frustrations related to their immigration status. The event will be held Monday evening, April 23 and will be webcast at Arkansas.edu, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Central Time (8:30 p.m. Eastern/5:30 p.m. Pacific). Given the national debate over the DREAM Act and immigration reform, the content and discussion are particularly timely. At a time when so much of the public debate is driven by talk shows and TV pundits, the April 23 event will give voice to individuals directly affected by existing immigration laws and policies.
