Immigration and Displacement | Uncovering America

Why do people migrate to and within the United States? How might works of art help us understand personal experiences of immigration and displacement?

In this set of artworks and suggested activities, students will explore the motivations of immigration and causes of displacement throughout American history, and they will practice telling stories, investigate transformational journeys, and reflect on the American dream.
