This extraordinary program follows the nation's first immigrant group on their journey into the American Dream. From war hereo and President Andrew Jackson to union organizer "Mother" Jones, you'll meet the colorful Irish-Americans who fought and worked their way past oppression, and into history. Dramatic re-creations, stirring readings, songs, and interviews with leading historians offer insights into the events that have made the Irish an integral part of the American fabric.
