The immigration experience will be explored in three compelling portrayals inspired by personal experience, bringing to life the realities of traveling to, and adapting to, a new world thousands of miles away from home. Works that will be featured will include Crossing on Time: Steam Engines, Fast Ships, and a Journey to a New World by David Macaulay, which documents both his own family’s immigration story and the state-of-the art ship that made high-speed travel possible; Refuge by Frances Jetter, an illustrated history of her grandfather’s immigration from Poland, his labor union, and his American family in Brooklyn; and Leaving China, a memoir by James McMullan inspired by his World War II childhood.
