The Immigrant Experience
The following note is from our friend and poet, Marian Haddad:
Dear friends,
OASIS is producing a class that is funded in large part by The National Endowment for the Humanities. It is an exploration of our immigrant stories. I am sending this to many of you who might know someone who has been eager to tell their story in written form; www.ellisisland.org will be publishing the stories of the rich and varied peoples who've made their way to America and who contribute to the fullness and diversity of this country.
If you know someone who'd like to take advantage of this experience and who is eager to share their immigrant story, I have been asked by OASIS to share the following information. Those who do not live in the San Antonio area, I would urge you to visit www.ellisisland.org and explore a way to share your own story. OASIS requires the minimum age for students and participants be 50. Please forward to the people you feel may benefit from this experience and let us make the most of this largely-NEH sponsored event. Thank you, on behalf of OASIS and myself.
The Immigrant Experience A new perspective on our history
Across the oceans
Through the centuries . . .
immigrants from around the globe and across the map have made a new beginning, and together formed a unique country, in America.
Produced by The OASIS Institute. Made possible in part by a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities: great ideas brought to life. This has also been designated a We The People project.
“Thought provoking, stimulating real-life stories - read and shared.”
Attention all genealogy enthusiasts, don’t miss this new class designed especially for those who want to publish their family story.
“Tell Us Your Story”Instructor: Marian Haddad, B.A., M.F.A.
Class # 167
Do you have a great family immigration story to share? Would you like to add your family’s story to a national database of immigration stories that will be held at the Ellis Island Immigration Museum and available to thousands of readers each month?
Visit www.ellisisland.org
If so, join a course continuing a collaboration between the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation and OASIS. The Foundation is inviting all Americans to tell their family immigration stories, whether from the earliest days of American life, voluntary or involuntary, through Ellis Island or other landing stations, across borders or a more recent arrival.
Previous Writing Experience Welcome but Not Necessary.
