The American story is an immigrant story, and in the Lower East Side of New York City, the Tenement Museum provides a voice for immigrants who have often been forgotten or marginalized. This week’s guest is Dr. Annie Polland, President of the Tenement Museum. She joins Abby and Brenda to discuss the importance of celebrating the enduring stories of real people and real families who immigrated and migrated to America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
