America has two powerfully competing stories: the home of Liberty which welcomes all, and the isolationist nation which fears difference. Join New Yorker staff writer, PEN Award-winner, and daughter of Nigerian immigrants, Alexis Okeowo, to discuss Blessings and Disasters: a surprising, personal journey through the auto plants and Amazon warehouses of her home state, Alabama, where we might better understand both sides of an unseen America which has global importance. Chaired by James West.
