Blog Post #2: Salgado Reading

          Sebastião Salgado made it his mission to make sure the world knows about the great hardships that millions of people go through as refugees. He hopes to be able to spread awareness so that more can be done for these people than what he is able to do by himself. 49
          The picture I chose depicts migrants riding a train to Northern Mexico by sitting in between the cars. Salgado explains that this spot is a good hiding place on a train, but has many dangers. One can fall off, or get hit by debris thrown up by the train (Salgado). 99
          These people go through tremendous risk to try and get into the United States. They leave their homes in search of a better life. I cannot imagine doing such a thing. I am unsure about whether it is best to let more immigrants into the U.S. right now, but I definitely admire the courage and perseverance.
