- **Event Description**: Can objects collected from the US desert floor tell how individuals made sense of the lived experiences of violent and traumatic migration?About this EventArtifacts of Migration: Arizona Desert, Operation Pedro Pan, and Crafting Latino Representation.20th century immigration policies in the US tightened restrictions for some, opened doors for others, and continues to be a topic that polarizes groups across the United States. A reliance on cheap labor drove migrants to cross the US Mexico border as undocumented while Cold War politics of the 1950’s and 60's saw a rise in political refugee migration from Cuba. These two vastly different migration experiences highlight the difficulty to tell a unified Latino experience and history within a museum setting. What often gets left out is the human story of how individuals, families, and communities navigate these policy decisions. How can the National Museum of American History offer a more personal and humanizing version of migration and the Latino experience? Objects collected for both Operation Pedro Pan and material collected in the Arizona desert are examples of extraordinary migration journeys seldom told within a national context and reveal how individuals made sense of the everyday lived experiences of often violent and traumatic migration process.L.
