It’s been 15 years since the Georgia Board of Regents adopted a policy that banned undocumented students from receiving in-state tuition rates, as well as banned them from attending the state's top five public universities. We hear from Dr. Emiko Soltis, the executive director of Freedom University, and Kathy, an undocumented student, about the unique set of barriers that undocumented students face. We also learn how Freedom University is adapting to and responding to the Trump Administration's crackdown on immigrants, while remaining a supportive space for students.

Plus, the new comic, “BLACK ARMS TO HOLD YOU,”  tells the story of Black resistance throughout U.S. history. Ben Passmore is an award-winning political cartoonist and comic artist. He talked with “Closer Look” program host Rose Scott about the research and inspiration behind the book. Passmore also explained why he feels the book is especially timely given the current political and social climate.
