Episode 6: Thanksgiving Across Borders & Pilgrims Were Refugees

Amor al Migrante/Love for the Migrant

On this episode of Amor al Migrante, we are talking about Thanksgiving traditions. Gail Fitzpatrick, a lawyer in the Estrella del Paso Crime Victims' Unit, shares her Thanksgiving experiences living in Puerto Rico, Korea, and Germany.

And we talk about the pilgrims as refugees who were fleeing religious persecution.

Also, don't forget to THANK the farmworkers for much of the food on your plate this holiday season.
