This is a fascinating podcast from one of my favorite museums! The new host Amanda's genuine empathy and interest in her subjects pull the listener into the story with her. Not to be missed!

Really interesting and well-produced podcast from the Tenement Museum about history and immigration etc. The new host, Amanda's voice is also very pleasant to listen to!

Description

These American stories are not in your standard history book. History tends to be reduced to key moments and celebrated names, and what’s often overlooked are the stories of the ordinary people, both past and present, who have lived through journeys of immigration and migration...the people who have shaped what it means to be and to become American. How To Be American is a podcast by the Tenement Museum where from New York’s Lower East Side, we explore the history of immigration and migration in America. We share the stories of migrants and refugees, and everyone in-between. And we examine why so many important events in our history have unfolded around issues of immigration and national identity. This is the past, present, and future of becoming American.
