Emily was deeply impressed by the showing of at least a hundred people who attended a Library Trustees meeting at the Jones Library to support the ESL program. For one and a half hours, people came forth and explained to the trustees what the ESL program meant to them, as individuals and as citizens of Amherst.
It was a proud moment for me to see Amherst coming out, welcoming and supporting immigrants, all-American at its best.
