David Vega of Winston-Salem, right, zips up Angel Fuentes' gown before
Fuentes spoke at a forum about immigration. Fuentes removed his mask after
speaking during the forum and said "I am undocumented."
A Winston-Salem man wore a graduation gown and a mask Wednesday.
Speaking in front of about 50 people during a meeting sponsored by the Latino Club at Winston-Salem State University, he said his parents brought him to the United States when he was 8. He attended elementary, middle and high school in Forsyth County, but college is out of reach because he must pay out-of-state tuition as an immigrant who is not authorized to be in the U.S.
