The Way We See It: L.A. Teens on Immigration

In the fall of 2008, 73 Los Angeles area high school students participated in a Facing History leadership program designed to develop the students' civic leadership through an exploration of contemporary issues.

"Who may become American," and "What does it mean to be an American?"
