Description

Designed and helped to install the exhibit 'Building a City and a Nation: Immigration Stories from El Paso, Texas' on display March 1, 2011 to May 15, 2011 at the Main Branch of the El Paso Public Library. This bilingual exhibit's content was created by faculty and students of UTEP's Department of History. The exhibit features historic portraits taken at the Casasola Photography Studio in El Paso, Texas and documents the experiences, struggles and triumphs of people crossing into the United States from Mexico with images of immigrants hailing from Mexico, Lebanon, China and beyond. The exhibit later traveled to The Houston Public Library and The University of Texas at Brownsville. For more information about the exhibit, go to: http://academics.utep.edu/Default.aspx?tabid=68203
