Not all heroes wear capes. That’s one thing Marvel Entertainment understands, and not just because its most famous characters don’t wear any capes at all. The new Disney+ television series Marvel’s Hero Project, in fact, is all about everyday heroes. Not your Spider-Man or your Captain America, but the kind of people who are making

When thousands of Haitians began to arrive at the US-Mexico border in early spring 2016, local and international journalists jumped on the story and captured Haitians at their most desperate moment – as they looked for refuge wherever they could find it in Tijuana.

Anti-immigrant sentiment isn’t a new phenomenon in Mexico. For Central Americans traveling through the Latin American country, Mexico has always been dangerous. And now, as a caravan makes its way to the United States, we’re seeing these unfavorable views of Central Americans come to the forefront.
