An Immigrant Family Moves Through Generational Trauma
Video Where We Come From NPR 16 June 2021
As a young girl growing up in Queens, N.Y.,
Colette Baptiste-Mombo said she felt largely insulated
from the struggles of the civil rights movement playing out
across much of the country in the 1960s.
Her mother, an immigrant with English and Somali roots,
and her father, a Bronx-born Jamaican American,
were looking for the best opportunities for their children.
But when her family moved into an all white neighborhood
in the New Jersey suburbs in 1965,
Colette and her family soon faced taunts, insults
and eventually an attack
that would become a defining moment
in Colette's life.
This story is part of NPR's Where We Come From series,
featuring stories from immigrant communities of color across
generations
in honor of Immigrant Heritage Month.
