About This Lesson

Transform how students understand migration through personal stories. This two-day high school lesson uses Sherwin Williams' migration story from Documented NY as an entry point for students to understand the emotional complexity of migration experiences. After analyzing his journey from Trinidad to Brooklyn, students use objects as symbols to represent and share deeper insights about migration, identity, and resilience within their own families.
