My Name is...Stories and Art by Young Refugees in Minnesota Schools

This thirty page booklet is a project of the Center for Victims of Torture, located in Minneapolis. It includes 18 autobiographical stories from young refugees and artwork by several others. Each author tells the story of how he or she escaped war and other situations to come to the United States. All were students at LEAP International Academy at the time of their writing. A useful resource for high school sociology or government classes, it includes two pages of teacher resources and discussion questions.
