For more than ten years, Luis’s films have depicted the challenges facing immigrants, especially from Guatemala. I was pleased to orchestrate an effort to send letters of support for Luis’s nomination for the Harris Wofford Award for Global Citizenship as someone who was influenced by, and embodied, many values of the Peace Corps. Harris Wofford was a former Senator who helped create Kennedy’s Peace Corps–he passed away Monday at age 93. Read the newsletter . . .
