An American Immigrant and Migrant Experience with Annie Polland

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.Show Notes:American Jewish Historical SocietyAmazon.com: Annie Polland: BooksYour Story, Our Story | Tenement MuseumStreets of Old MilwaukeeThe Washington Post’s Lede Lab takes readers inside the Tenement Museum in New York City using high-resolution photogrammetryTenement Museum Virtual Tour using Photogrammetry - Washington PostAnnual Gala | Tenement MuseumIf you have any comments, suggestions or questions about the show please send an email to [email protected] transcript of this episode can be found at loremipsumxd.com/matters-of-experience.
