“I am currently reading, “We Refuse” by Kellie Carter Jackson. It’s a book on the history of black people in America while putting into context current events and policies. I felt it was something I would dive into during Black History Month and enrich my knowledge as an immigrant on how everything works. It’s a good read on resistance from oppression and I highly recommended for all."

Professor Dr. Diomedy Jimenez, BIO 102 & 108
“In this book, you will learn about a story that occurred in 1970 of a young boy named Rafael, who escaped from the Cuban regimen led by a desperation to be free after the tumultuous Cuban revolution. This encouraged him with others to defy nature with all the risks that endangered the state of Florida with shark infested waters, not to mention the constant threat of Cuban authorities. This book creates a sense of empathy for Cuban people who are still suffering just 90 miles from our shores.”
