The Irish in America with John Lyons and Dennis Doyle In-Person

Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated throughout the United States. But it has not always been so. Irish immigrants who arrived in the United States in the 19th century were treated with contempt. Through the use of primary sources including music, photographs, newspaper articles and cartoons, this informative and entertaining talk helps us understand how the Irish went from despised refugees to an acclaimed ethnic group who have made major contributions to every facet of American life.
