MIRA is the largest organization in New England promoting the rights and integration of immigrants and refugees.
Mark Chester has been a professional photographer since 1972. His photographs are in the permanent collections of Baltimore, Brooklyn, Corcoran, Denver, Portland (Maine), and San Francisco museums, among others.
