“Together We Rise puts a human face on the foundational truth of this country—we are a nation of immigrants. Not to sideline the Indigenous population here before us who also contribute to the fabric of this great nation, the other 98% are from the small hamlets, villages, towns and the great cities in every corner of the world. No other nation can claim the diversity that has made America what it is today. While there are dangerous currents that want to put up walls, Mark Tuschman’s stunning black and white portraits, combined with first-person narratives, is a powerful reminder of the nation that this diversity has created.”
