From New Netherland to New York, immigrants from every part of the world have made their home in our state. The Historical Society of Rockland County invites you to join us on July 21, from 7:15 to 9 pm, for a Community Conversation about Immigration.
The conversation will focus on a short excerpt from President Lyndon B. Johnsons Remarks at the Signing of the Immigration Bill, followed by an open discussion exploring our shared history as immigrants and the descendants of immigrants and the ways that immigration continues to shape the experience of being American today.
Admission is free, but please note that space at this program is strictly limited. Reservations are required, and a waiting list will be compiled. If you register and find you are unable to attend the program, please let us know as soon as possible.
This program is made possible by the New York Council for the Humanities.
