America's immigration story is a collection of individual journeys, including those of our own ancestors. We'll look at key historical markers — from Ellis Island to the Immigration Act of 1965 to more recent efforts to close the border and curtail immigration — and consider how our personal histories not only intersect with the evolution of U.S. policy but also help shape our sense of immigrants’ place in America today.

Join Emmy-award winning journalist, Claudine Hutton, for the next edition of this thought-provoking discussion on current events. We’ll explore today’s pressing issues through the lens of history–and our own personal experiences. 

In this session, we’ll:

• Analyze the Headlines: Break down recent developments in politics, economics, and world affairs.

• Find Historical Parallels: Examine how similar events in history inform our understanding of today’s challenges.

• Share Perspectives: Exchange insights and memories in a collaborative and respectful environment.
