Immigration has become one of the most talked-about issues in this year’s presidential race.
But the experiences of people who come to the U.S. as immigrants and refugees aren’t always part of the discussion.
On Cincinnati Edition, we’ll hear from a refugee and two immigrants about why their families came to the U.S. and the struggles they have overcome to succeed here.
Their stories are part of a pair of exhibits called “More than Meets the Eye” curated by the nonprofit A Picture's Worth that are part of the 2024 FotoFocus Biennial. Photos that are special to each of them can be found on the Purple People Bridge though Nov. 3 with a link to an audio clip that explains their story.
