What do you know about 1965 in the Dom. Rep. ?
What do you know about 1j4?
Dominican Immigrant, do you think the border wall is just?
Dominican, did you or your parents migrated between the years: 1960โ€”1962; 1966โ€”1978; 1986โ€”1996? Why?
Do you send remittances to the Dom. Rep.? And how much?
Dominican, do you consider yourself black or indio? Did migrating change your perspective?
Dominican for you, who are the founding fathers of the nation?

Participants can respond with their testimonies via Whatsapp at 829.675.0028.

The project has already begun on the island.
