Being Latin American in the Trump Administration Era

Roxboro House Roundtables

In this podcast, Jefferson University students, who are members of the Latin America Student Association, (L.A.S.O.) discuss life as a Latino in the Trump era. In this very emotional and frank roundtable, students reflect on the pain they experience due to the negative judgment they receive from other Americans, which they perceive is stoked by a president, whom they believe is hostile to their community. Student presenters explain how this negativity powerfully affects their self-image, which only increases the weight of the burden they carry to be exemplary members of their community.
