Next Monday (5/13) at noon PT, we're hosting a special live event where Ray will peel back the curtain on his latest book, We Are Home: Becoming American in the 21st Century. He'll be joined in conversation by the amazing Ali Noorani, Director of the U.S. Democracy Program at The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. You can get your tickets here. Ray will take questions from the audience at the end of the program! We Are Home: Becoming American in the 21st Century Immigrants to America have always faced resistance, and have always – over time – assimilated and become vital parts of America. This is a process as old as the nation itself, and it can't be stopped, no matter how many – or how few – new immigrants arrive every year. But in a fraught political moment where “America First” is threatening their security, what does it mean to be an immigrant in the 21st century? Ray Suarez has criss-crossed the country to speak to new Americans from all corners of the globe, and to record their stories.
