Migration Experience educates our Chicago youth and communities on African American History, Genealogy, Religion, and Culture and provides local and global awareness and exposure to injustices through travel experiences, volunteerism and fundraising for humanitarian causes. Our program seeks to bring education and awareness across cultures through comparative analysis.
