Keynotes including The Story of My Immigrant Family & Yours: From Alienation to Assimilation
While discussing the history of our family with my two adult sons I learned that they were unaware of the immigrant experiences of their three great-grandparents who emigrated to America in the 1890s or their maternal great-grandmother who was born on
NYC to immigrants in during that same decade.
While reflecting on the current climate where the views of immigration range from embracement to rejection, I felt that knowing the experiences of our immigrant ancestors including the similarities of their experiences to today's immigrants could help my sons have a greater understanding of our family's history as well as the those seeking to live the American Dream today.
By reviewing our family "papers" and researching the immigrant experience since the mid-1600s, I learned that throughout our nation's history, there has been consistency in the themes of opposition to immigration: "diluting American culture," losing jobs to new arrivals, and concerns about the
"hygiene," "criminality," spread of communicable diseases.
To give greater understanding to our respective family histories, I've developed an interactive learning opportunity: The Story of My Immigrant Family & Yours: From Alienation to Assimilation. By sharing my family's path of successes, I share the story of immigration beginning in late 1600s including the large-scale European immigration beginning in the 1850s with the Irish potato famine that continued to the 1920s when Congress passed several immigration reform acts. The responses of the diverse audiences with whom I've shared this presentation who represent all family, economic, ethnic and racial heritages has been extraordinary.
As I continue to develop this historical learning experience, I am seeking audiences who have an interest in having a greater understanding of the collective journey of immigrants in American History, particularly highlighting the experiences of Europeans post-1850 including community groups.
