Students contribute to South Bend mural celebrating immigrant experience

A new mural frames the entrance to La Casa de Amistad overlooking South Michigan Street. The art commemorates the emotional journey for people who immigrate to the U.S. in search of a better life. The mural is a collaboration between La Casa and artist and educator Freddy Rodriguez, with input and assistance from students with Notre Dame's Center for Social Concerns.
