The exhibit, “On Guns and Dreams: Reflections on Migration Between the U.S. and Mexico,” reflects issues raised in the book “Antonio’s Gun and Delfino’s Dream. The book was part of the Lobo Reading Experience in which UNM freshmen were asked to read the book and attend discussion groups.

The UNM community has participated in a series of talks and exhibits throughout the fall semester examining the issue of migration.
