America 250: First Thursdays at JUMP — We the People: Becoming American
America 250: First Thursdays at JUMP — We the People: Becoming American
Join us for an evening of live storytelling featuring the voices of Americans whose journey to the U.S. started with displacement.
Explore Idaho's resettlement history, hear firsthand accounts from storytellers representing Ukraine, Afghanistan, Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda, and experience the cultural heritages they continue to carry with them as they contribute to the American experiment.
Come early (doors open at 5 p.m.!) to explore Boise Public Library's Excitetrike and check out books, games, and activities!
This event is free and open to everyone, with registration encouraged.
This event is presented by the City of Boise in partnership with the Idaho Office for Refugees and hosted at JUMP, part of the City of Boise's America 250 celebration. For a full schedule of city-sponsored America 250 events, visit cityofboise.org/America250.
