From 1910-1940, immigrants were detained and interrogated at Angel Island immigration station in San Francisco Bay. MAP students have begun visiting the island and exploring the poetry carved into the walls of their living quarters telling stories of hope, struggle, and encounters with xenophobia. Students then some very powerful poetry of their own that will be featured at the MAP Festival at Zeum on June 5. Photo by Katina Papson.
