On Tuesday, August 25th at 3pm, New York Times editor and author Jia Lynn Yang will discuss her new book, “One Mighty and Irresistible Tide: The Epic Struggle Over American Immigration, 1924-1965”

Framed movingly by her own family’s story of immigration to America, Yang’s book is a sweeping history of the twentieth-century battle to reform American immigration laws that set the stage for today’s roiling debates. A deeply researched and illuminating work of history, “One Mighty and Irresistible Tide” shows how Americans have strived and struggled to live up to the ideal of a home for the “huddled masses,” as promised in Emma Lazarus’s famous poem.

On Tuesday, September 1st at 3pm, author Karen Gonzalez will discuss her book, “The God Who Sees: Immigrants, The Bible and the Journey to Belong”

Mrs. Gonzalez offers a moving and persuasive analysis of immigration through a faith perspective, focusing on Biblical stories of migration: Abraham, Hagar, Joseph, Ruth and more. These intrepid heroes of the faith cross borders and seek refuge. As witnesses to God’s liberating power, they name the God they see at work, and they become grafted onto God’s family tree.

On Tuesday, September 8th at 3pm, award-winning NBC Correspondent and author Jacob Soboroff will discuss his new book, "Separated: Inside an American Tragedy."

Soboroff has spent the past two years reporting the many strands of the Family Separation Crisis, developing sources from within the Trump administration who share critical details for the first time. He also traces the dramatic odyssey of one separated family from Guatemala, where their lives were threatened by narcos, to seek asylum at the U.S. border, where they were separated—the son ending up in Texas, and the father thousands of miles away, in the Mojave desert of central California. And he joins the heroes who emerged to challenge the policy, and who worked on the ground to reunite parents with children.
