Immigrant Heritage: The Stories behind the Numbers

It’s Immigrant Heritage Month! And for the next two weeks, we’ll be sharing stories that shine a light on the contributions of immigrants – those who came here to work hard, seek opportunities or find protection – and what their experiences and recent research can tell us about the American Identity and American attitudes towards immigration.  

We hear this week from, Jessica Astudillo, Emily EkinsFarah Larrieux, and Edilsa Lopez.  

Also, be sure to check out our Twitter and Facebook for more great stories to help celebrate Immigrant Heritage Month!
