NEA Big Read Discussion: The Immigrant Journey (In- Person)

Based on "The Best That We Could" by Thi Bui

A panel discussion on experiences and the journey of immigrants coming to a new country, their struggles, their triumphs, and their lives in their new home.

United States of America is a land for Dreamers and welcomes all with open arms. Each immigrant has a story. These stories are of their struggles, triumphs, and their lives in their new home. Listen to some of the immigrants share their stories, the help they received from various corners, and where they are today.

Join us for an interactive afternoon of panel discussion based on the theme of the book by American Vietnamese author Thi Bui "The Best That We Could Do" at Tate's Comics at 4566 N University Dr. Lauderhill, FL 33351 to participate in NEA Big Read  Program. The National Endowment for the Arts Big Read is designed to broaden our understanding of our world, our communities, and ourselves through the joy of sharing a good book.
