Immigrant Nation: Making Home in Song and Story

From Victrolas to tapes to TikTok, in clubs and record stores, through changing attitudes to immigration, people have used sound to express the trials and sorrows, hopes and humor of risking the journey to a new life.

Join us for an evening of discussion and archival music recordings as David Goren and Maria Margaronis explore how immigrants to America have used songs, skits, and recorded messages from the founding of Ellis Island to the present day in order to connect with home, to find their way, and to feel less alone.
