NYC as a Refuge

The Brian Lehrer Show | Oct 27, 2022

Many people come to New York City as a form of escape, whether it's escaping small town life, a conservative family, or escaping a dictatorship abroad. Lilly Tuttle, curator at the Museum of the City of New York, joins the show to discuss NYC's history as a place of refuge, and listeners call in to describe why they sought refuge in New York City.
