Journey of Hope - The Irish in New York

an illustrated lecture by Professor Tara Rider Ph.D, Stony Brook University.

Having faced the challenges of a global pandemic, we have all been on our own journey of hope in recent times. As we begin to emerge from the pandemic, it is fitting to take a look back at the history and culture of the Irish of New York from the challenges of their immigrant beginnings to the present day. Escaping religious persecution, poverty, and famine, waves of Irish immigrants arrived in New York from the 18th century on. By the mid-19th century, one-quarter of the City’s population was Irish. Their journeys are reflected in the shared experiences of all immigrants coming to America, and resonate with us today.
