Just in time for pre-election reading and discussion groups, Rick shares the stories of immigrants from around the world to America — their successes, hopes, challenges, and dreams.

In sharing these inspiring stories and hope-filled futures, He assures us the United States is still a nation of promise made richer by its diversity.

Note: The photo at the top of this blog is of the author in Vatican City admiring the moving statue, Angels Unawares. This 20-foot bronze statue depcts a life-sized group of 140 migrants and refugees. Installed in 2019 in Vatican City, it was the first statue added to the square in 350 years.
