• June is Immigrant Heritage Month, and today the #IAmAnImmigrant campaign launches to encourage all of us to explore our individual heritage & recognize our distinct and shared experiences. We all have our piece in the American story, whether as a new immigrant, native to this land, a descendent of slavery or those who came to our nation seeking a better life.
• #IAmAnImmigrant: Jose Hernandez’s Journey from Migrant Farmworker to Astronaut
• Jose Hernandez is the child of Mexican immigrants. He worked alongside his parents picking crops in the United States. They went wherever there was work. Finally in the second grade his parents made the decision to stay in the United States and make California home. Jose recounts his dream-turned-reality, which is living proof that Mexican-Americans achieve the highest of heights, including space!
