PD 552 – Young Author Reading for Latinx Heritage Month

Young authors based out of Garner Magnet High School will be reading
memoirs, poems, letters, vignettes, and essays from their book, “The Roots
of Our People: From One World to Another, Juntos.” These young authors, of
Juntos NC, published their bilingual book in May of 2018 to illustrate
their roots of “where they’re from,” explore the dualities of their
identities, and demonstrate the strength of the Latino community. In
resounding individual and collective voices, these authors describe how
they embrace the roots of their people while they pursue higher education,
advance new opportunities, and advocate for the immigrant community in
America.
