University Open Air: A City of Immigrants: Changing the narrative
New York City is one of America’s most culturally diverse cities, but migrant narratives don’t always portray the immeasurable contribution of its more than three million foreign-born residents. Participants in this interactive discussion will explore how to change the narrative and highlight the cultural and economic contributions of the city’s immigrant community.
