Description
"The focus will be the immigrant experience. Our museum strives to be a part of a global movement to share the stories of migration. Similar museums are being established in other countries i.e. France, Australia, Brazil, and elsewhere. We hope to share stories of migration from every hemisphere," explained Hom.
The 4,000-square-foot museum will also serve as a public forum venue and will partner with other organizations on oral and visual history projects, visual and performing arts programming, cultural events, lectures and speaker series, films, conferences and exhibitions.
"You will discover a museum that is not a collection of artifacts," said Deborah Szekely, "but rather a gathering of living ideas and idealsâ¦the stories of brave individuals who left their homelands to create their future in a land of peace and opportunity. Their memories of courageous and often dangerous journeys begineach onewith their indomitable will to take charge of their lives and their future. These are the people who are worthy of being honored by all future generations, for they are the best of the best of their villages, towns and cities. They were the ones who, unwilling to accept status quo, would rather confront the unknown, drawn forward by the shining beacon of freedomthe United States of America. "
Residents, visitors, scholars and school groups will find the museum an invaluable gateway to understanding the immigration experience. For more information about the New Americans Museum and its Opening Activities, please visit New Americans Museum
