Celebrate National Welcoming Week by listening to StoryCorps stories of fellow Atlantans who have emigrated from their home countries to the United States. Their stories span the past half century and around the world — from as far away as Poland, Vietnam and Ethiopia; to right across the border in Mexico.

Free and open to the public.

A dessert reception with a cash bar follows the program.
