Get the book DETAINED into the hands of our community!

It is harder and harder in Texas to get books by and about our community into the hands of our community. So we must take matters into our own hands.

Pitch in to get 25 copies of DETAINED by D. Esperanza and Gerardo Ivan Morales. into the schools, libraries, and under ground libraries that we work with in Houston, Texas.

During the first Trump Administration, D. Esperanza was only a teenager when he was detained at the Immigration Detention Center in Tornillo, Texas, just outside of El Paso. He snuck in a notebook to tell his story. This May, that story becomes the book DETAINED with co-writer Gerardo Iván Morales.

This is a powerful work that tells the unvarnished truth about the plight of many community members. In this political climate where some families are pushed into the shadows, we must stand up for them, for freedom of speech, for intellectual freedom, for human rights. We must inspire everyone to tell their story.

Additionally, Nuestra Palabra is organizing launch events for the book in Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, and El Paso. Each city will influence each stop and feature speakers and stories from their community. 

This is about intellectual freedom. It is time to tell immigrant stories. This book is inspirational. Help us spread this book.
