Green Card Stories: A Book Presentation and Panel Discussion on the Face of Immigration and Reform

At a time when the immigration debate in America threatens to boil over, Americans are losing the ability to talk about a phenomenon that has defined who we are as a country—a nation of immigrants from all walks of life, from all corners of the earth, who have fueled America’s success with individual talents. Immigration tells our essential story: E pluribus unum—Out of many, one. Green Card Stories cuts through the rhetoric, presenting fifty recent U.S. immigrants in dramatic essays by nationally recognized journalist Saundra Amrhein and compelling portraits by award-winning photographer Ariana Lindquist.

Wednesday, February 22, 6:00 p.m., USF Patel Center for Global Solutions, CGS 131
