The Stories you do not know. \nA Free Event \nCelebrate Welcoming Manchester‘s Welcoming Week\, an annual celebration that invites communities across America to bring their immigrants and U.S.-born residents together. \nEveryday the media floods our lives with news stories about the immigrant crisis.

We invite you to The Story of Us. \n*Join us as we start new conversations about immigration/refugee resettlement\, community\, and inclusion.* \nKya Roumimper will be one of the hosts.

SUMMARY:Concord - Immigration Bond Training - NH Immigrants' Rights Project
DESCRIPTION:Now is the time to act! \nACLU of New Hampshire has launched the New Hampshire Immigrants’ Rights Project dedicated to recruiting and training volunteer lawyers and providing direct representation for immigrant detainees at Strafford County Department of Corrections in Dover\, NH. We have our bond hearing training scheduled for September 13\, 2018\, at 6:00 PM at New England College (Concord Campus\, 62 N Main St\, Concord\, NH 03301). \nImmigrants detained in New Hampshire have very limited access to pro bono counsel for bond hearings. Getting immigrants released is a game changer\, as it drastically increases the likelihood they will ultimately win their cases. Be part of the New Hampshire Immigrants’ Rights Project! \nPresenters: \nRon Abramson (abramson IMMIGRATION+ SOLUTIONS) \nEmily Assunta White (abramson IMMIGRATION+ SOLUTIONS) \nSangYeob Kim (ACLU of New Hampshire) \nPlease RSVP by submitting this form http://bit.ly/2MlImnb.

SUMMARY:Deering - All Eyes Are Upon Us: Racial Struggles in the Northeast\, from Jackie Robinson to Deval Patrick
DESCRIPTION:From Brooklyn to Boston\, from World War II to the present\, Jason Sokol traces the modern history of race and politics in the Northeast. Why did white fans come out to support Jackie Robinson as he broke baseball’s color barrier in 1947 even as Brooklyn’s blacks were shunted into segregated neighborhoods? How was African-American politician Ed Brooke of Massachusetts\, who won a Senate seat in 1966\, undone by the resistance to desegregation busing in Boston? Is the Northeast’s history a microcosm of America as a whole: outwardly democratic\, but inwardly conflicted over race?
