It is widely known, but little acknowledged, that our local community owes its growth in overall population to the growing and widely diverse population of international citizens.  These citizens add a rich and bold flavor of culture, cuisine, music, style and heritage to our community.  Yet, while cities around the nation embrace and capitalize on these characteristics in their new citizens, Louisville seems yet to have discovered how to fully incorporate these populations and celebrate their expanding contributions.

 

This panel, each intricately involved with Louisville's international populations, will examine issues and allow the community an opportunity to hear, first hand, the realities of being an immigrant in the Commonwealth... and being Louisvillian.
