Tickets: $15 In the over heated debate about immigration voices of the immigrants themselves are seldom heard. Underground America changes that with a dramatic reading of oral histories by undocumented immigrants that reveals the harrowing ordeals and heart-rending choices they must make everyday.

Panelist: Peter Orner is the editor of the book Underground America: Narratives of Undocumented Lives. As a fiction writer, he ahs been a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, winner of the Bard Fiction Prize and the Rome Prize, and a Guggenheim Fellow. He is an associate professor at San Francisco University. Sarah Paoletti heads up UPenn Law's Transnational Clinic. Jaykumar Menon is a human rights lawyer and a writer and a fellow at the Center for International Sustainable Development Law at McGill University. Moderator: Judith A. Bernstein-Baker is executive editor of HIAS and Council Migration Service of Philadelphia. First Person Arts transforms the drama of everyday life into memoir and documentary art to foster appreciation for our unique and shared experiences.
