Ray Suarez: We Are Home

Who are we today, as we approach our 250th anniversary as an independent country? 

Veteran journalist, broadcaster and interviewer Ray Suarez has criss-crossed the country to speak to new Americans from all corners of the globe, and to record their stories. Join us for a special online-only program as Suarez shares what he learned while reporting and writing his new book, We Are Home: Becoming American in the 21st Century. This portrait of our newest citizens is full of their own, compelling voices. It’s a story as old as the country, yet each new wave of arrivals tells that classic story in new and crucially important ways.
