This Independence Day weekend, I’ve been reading two pieces written by IRI advisory board members.
Algernon Austin wrote a powerful July 4 reflection on the history of the country, and how central racial and ethnic diversity has been from the start.
And, Nancy Foner wrote for Vital City about the important ways immigrants have shaped New York City.
If you’re looking for a meaningful way to dig a little deeper into the meaning of America for this holiday weekend, I highly recommend both!
