Alexis Okeowo: Deep in the Heart of America

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.
