In this week’s special Thanksgiving episode, we continue our tradition of looking at this most American of holidays from the perspectives of new Americans. Theresa Cardinal Brown is joined by Anya McMurray, President and COO of Welcome.US, to talk about how America has welcomed diverse immigrants over the last two years, from Afghans, to Ukrainians, to Venezuelans, to the people of New York City and Martha’s Vineyard who welcomed migrants bussed there from the border. Then, we welcome Lucija Bebek, BPC’s spring immigration intern, who shares her own immigrant Thanksgiving story.
