season 2 - episode 9

In episode nine* of season two , Claudia J. Hernández Romero tells Michele Jaquis about her childhood experience of her father's death and the subsequent decision of her middle-class family to leave El Salvador and come to the US via plane. We Are All Americans is a podcast series Inspired by the fact that my Russian great-grandfather gained his US citizenship after serving in the US Army and my Lithuanian (or Austrian, or Russian, or Latvian - depending on who is telling the story) great-grandmother entered the US on fake passport. Each episode is a different recorded conversations about how family stories are passed down from generation to generation and what it means to be American in the contexts of multiculturalism, immigration, military service, black lives matter, white privilege, and indigeneity. * Recorded on October 28, 2019 at Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles, CA.
