IMMIGRANT VOICES

how to create a story

AIISF is pleased to present stories about the immigrant experience. As we celebrate 100 years of Pacific immigration from 1910 to 2010, these stories, which reflect diverse experiences in different eras, underscore the common desire for a better life held by all immigrants. These stories offer testimony to the perseverance, courage and tenacity of immigrants whose belief in the American ideals of freedom and justice was unshakable despite hardships and discrimination.

We invite you to share your immigrant story or about an immigrant you know in our growing web exhibition that will be read by people all over the world.
