Border Narratives: Stories of People with Disabilities Living at the U.S.-Mexico Border
About the online collection
With funding from Borealis Philanthropy, Rooted in Rights – a program of Disability Rights Washington – partnered with Disability Rights Arizona (formerly Arizona Center for Disability Law) to connect with disabled folks living along the U.S.-Mexico border region interested in sharing their experiences through mobile video storytelling.
You can watch and listen to the stories of Alisha Vasquez of Tucson, Arizona; Daniel Martínez of Brownsville, Texas; Lawrence Brown III of El Paso, Texas; and Amalia Mondragón of El Paso, Texas.
This collection is part of the Reclaiming the Border Narrative Digital Archive, a University Libraries Special Collections partnership, and community-focused archive centering the diversity and multidimensionality of experiences that transcend dominant narratives and amplifies the creative works of artists, advocates, journalists, and cultural practitioners dedicated to advancing migrant justice and a broader understanding of U.S.-Mexico border communities.
