Please join us for a panel discussion on immigration starting at 6:00
p.m. on Thursday, April 29. The panelists will explore the varied
stories of recent immigrants who decided to make Virginia their home and
will offer commentary on the impact of Virginia's increasingly diverse
cultural composition.
Panelists for Becoming a Virginian: Contemporary Immigrants Speak are
Pablo Cuevas, who was born in Cuba and serves as chair of the Rockingham
County Board of Supervisors; Tim Freilich, legal director of the Legal
Aid Justice Center's Advocacy Program; and Angelo Maker, a "lost boy of
the Sudan" who now lives in Newport News. May-Lily Lee, host of Virginia
Currents, will moderate the panel discussion.
This program is a complement to the Library's exhibition The Land We
Live in, the Land We Left: Virginia's People, whose run has been
extended through October 30, 2010.
The Library of Virginia is located in historic downtown Richmond at 800
East Broad Street. There is free parking for this event in the Library's
underground garage, which is accessible from either Eighth or Ninth
streets. For more information, please call 804-692-3592.
