Here's a bit about:
-
My awakening to my "Panamanian-ness"
-
My grandfather's miserable retirement, post-Panama Canal work
-
His Brooklyn"catfight" after my parents' wedding
Americans brought Jim Crow to the Canal Zoneconstruction.
While my paternal grandfather was making pennies a day as a Black man, Panamanian and American elites were building golf courses on the Zone.
I was 1 of 8 writers selected for a workshop on race and immigration. Each writer received a scholarship sponsored by the Latimer House.
