Your story
Help us tell a more complete story of American immigration and migration by contributing a family object story to the collection.
In The Just City, Boston College students explore histories of social difference in the Americas—a region transformed by the massive movement of people from the countryside to urban areas in the twentieth century. We reflect on the challenges and possibilities of migratory flows to cities and suburbs, both within and across national borders. Adopting hemispheric and global perspectives, we document and highlight the complex meanings of American identity.
