Beautiful photo essay of immigrants in Clarkston
Local photog documents the lives of local Somali refugees
NPR just posted a really lovely gallery of images taken by local photographer Bryan Meltz of African refugees who relocated to Clarkston, which she calls a “modern-day Ellis Island.”
Since 2006, Meltz has been documenting the lives of a family of Somali refugees and “bearing witness to their overwhelming spirit as they assimilate to American life, while still preserving the traditions of their culture.”
Highly recommended!
