🗽"Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor" - Stories of Coming to America for the Program

At the end of last week's rehearsal, a few choral members shared some truly astonishing and inspirational stories about friends and relatives who came to America in search of freedom and a better life - much like our song, "Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor." We would like to share a selection of these stories in the program for our performance. If you are interested in contributing, please email your story to Courtney McLaughlin at realewriter@yahoo.com.
