CLOVIS, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) - A Black DACA recipient and National Immigrant Rights Activist will speak at Clovis Community College for "The Intersection of Immigration and Civil Rights" on Thursday.
The college says Denea Joseph will speak on their campus in honor of the life and legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Joseph immigrated to the U.S. at seven years old from Belize, Central America and eventually graduated from UCLA. There she advocated for the implementation of an immigration attorney position on campus and increased sustainable financial aid for undocumented youth across the University of California system.
