Scope and Contents:
Jairo Javier Morales is a mixed-media artist and student affairs professional who notably came out as a DACA student at his college graduation ceremony in 2019 upon revealing custom-made fabric monarch butterfly wings attached to his robe. In this oral history, Morales shares stories of his childhood in the Pilsen neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois, the roles education and community-based activism played early on in his life, what the process of getting DACA was like for him and his family, and social justice efforts he led in college through organizations like La Unida and Queer Student Alliance. He also speaks at length on political activism through art, building bridges amongst different student groups in college, the process of creating custom-made monarch butterfly wings, memories leading up to crossing the stage on graduation day, and embracing his own intersecting identities as a gay Mexican immigrant.
