Artist commentary: AMERICA! The land of opportunities and freedom. To the new arrivals it was the land of uncertainty, confusion and fear. Many ended up in the “projects” where the government housed the poor. Life there was hard. Many of the criminals preyed on the scared refugees. What a rude awakening for us.
