Jose Antonio Vargas, Pulitzer prize winner, journalist and immigration activist, brings essential perspectives from his new book Dear America, Notes of an Undocumented Citizen, and his thriving “Define American” campaign, https://defineamerican.com/. JFK, who’s assassination was 45 years ago this week, wrote “A Nation of Immigrants,” a book that figures several times in Jose’s book. Copies of Dear America are available at: joseantoniavargas.com, or your favorite independent book dealer.
