"I am from the nopales, watermelon, and pink daisies / The big orange tree and the tree whose long-gone limbs I remember / As if they were my own" —from "The Eldest Chaparra" by Eva S. in Behind Our Masks, written by @roosevelthsla Ethnic Studies students. Congrats to all the students, 826LA volunteers, and teachers who worked on this book. To read more essays and poems on resilience, resistance, and reimagination, read the digital version on our website. Link in bio.
