“This system is cruel, corrupt, and often inhumane. If we don't speak, if we don't share the stories, no one will ever know what is going on.”  — Karen Keith
“I have been detained. I was probably 8 or 9. My mother and I were crossing the border through the San Diego border sector. All I remember is someone yelling at us. Then running and finally a Migra putting us in the back of a truck. I gave the Migra a false name, we were detained for a few hours, and then released in Tijuana. My father was waiting for us in Mexico. ”  — Anonymous Exhibition Visitor
