The Journey

Students focus on the journeys that different groups of people have made to new homes and new lives. First, the children meet Anna and Josif and their parents, Russian immigrants who chose to move to Wisconsin. They next meet Max, who visits the Milwaukee Public Museum with his brothers and mother to learn about their family`s African heritage. Max and his family also reflect on stories about their own ancestors, wondering what it was like to be taken by force from West Africa to work as slaves in the United States. Finally, they meet Besart and his family, who talk about recently coming to Wisconsin to seek refuge from war in Kosovo.
