Lawrence Immigration Symposium, 4/5

Forrant Lawrence symposium

Such an incredible day at the Everett Mill today! The Lawrence History Center welcomed nearly 200 people for a full day of scholarship and dialogue about the new immigration into Lawrence and similar communities. We’ll report out with more photos and stories from the day, but here’s one of our wonderful Lawrence focused roundtable discussion after lunch with panelists (l to r): Professor Llana Barber, SUNY at Old Westbury; Atty. Zoila Gomez, Eliana Martinez, Lawrence International High School; Victor Martinez, Lawrence CommunityWorks; Professor Robert Forrant, UMass Lowell/Lawrence History Center board of directors (moderator). More soon! (Photo and caption , 4/5/14, courtesy of Lawrence History Center on Facebook and Bob Forrant)
