Taking an 'Irish Stand'

The Brian Lehrer Show | Mar 17, 2017

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin, Irish senator in the Labour party and former Minister of State for Communities, Culture and Equality, contends that Irish-Americans who support President Trump have forgotten their heritage, which as he says is a history of immigration, seeking refuge and overcoming sectarian division and conflict, and asks Irish in America to take an “Irish Stand” for inclusivity, diversity and human rights.

→ EVENT: Take an "Irish Stand" Friday, March 17 at The Riverside Church, 7:30 PM. Tickets and information here.
