Members of Black Greek Letter Organizations from the Divine 9 have taken to Instagram to share their stories of how their families immigrated to the United States for better opportunities.
While many of the stories surfaced online have been centered around Mexico, Trump’s saddened attempt on creating the #MuslimBan highlights just how much his ridiculous antics are affecting the African American community and those who migrated from the Diaspora.
BGLO-focused website WatchTheYard.com kicked off the much-needed hashtag on Instagram and so far they’ve shared some pretty powerful stories. Check out some of them below.
