World Cultures Festival and Fines Arts Showcase - After Action Report UPDATE
Civil Rights Forum
The Immigration Coalition of the Quad Cities hosted a Fine Arts Showcase for Immigrant and Refugee students at the Rogalski Center at St. Ambrose University. Local art submissions were showcased as part of the QC World Cultures Festival. There were 12 submissions, including artwork, poetry and essays that were created by students from age 5 to 14. The winning submission was a poem, written by an 11-year-old, titled They Become which describes the journey of immigrating to the United States. More the 400 people attended the festival, with some expressing interest in joining the coalition. A QC Times reporter interviewed us about the Immigration Coalition and the article is available in the Saturday, April 5th edition. It's titled New Quad Cities immigrant coalition launches 'anti-dehumanization' campaign. This is a good way to spread the word that we are all neighbors!
