As I've gained more insight on the history and current conditions of today, there is a solemn presence hanging over me. In the morning, we first heard from Luis Alberto Lopez, a founder of COFAMIDE. All throughout it I kept thinking of my friends that have immigrated to the US and imagining the horrors that they could have faced. I broke down crying at the end of it all and had a hard time comprehending it all. I also had an awful dream the night before. I'm reading "The Year We Disappeared" and in my dream, there was a blend of that plot line and my experience here. I remember seeing my minority friends disfigured in a very eternalizing way. I also was set on fire for talking with them. there is so much injustice in this world, but I won't stop living it. I'm here to help liberate, even if there are barriers along the way.
