Join us for a conversation on the refugee and immigrant experience in Virginia with author Deepak Singh and refugee resettlement coordinator Seyoum Berhe in connection with our exhibition "New Virginians: 1619–2019 & Beyond." Singh chronicles his downward mobility as an immigrant to a small town in Virginia in his book "How May I Help You? An Immigrant's Journey from MBA to Minimum Wage."
