Mary, writer of the fabulous blog Cooking with the Junior League, sent in an installment of the PBS series Faces of America. The episode, titled “Becoming American,” looks at the immigrant origins of various celebrities (Meryl Streep, Stephen Colbert) in the point of massive immigration to the U.S. from around 1820 until 1924.
The segment Mary found interesting is near the granddaddy of Queen Noor.
