Description of Pictures: Voices in a Promised Land: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Aleksandar Hemon, and Cecilia Muñoz
In partnership with the 92nd Street Y’s 7 Days of Genius, a series of events that invite the public to consider what genius is, why it matters, and how it evolves.
In collaboration with the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation in honor of the 35th anniversary of the MacArthur Fellows Program, which recognizes exceptionally creative people who inspire us all.
The MacArthur Fellows Program celebrates and inspires the creative potential of individuals with a track record of achievement through no-strings-attached fellowships, popularly referred to as “MacArthur Genius Grants.”
Three Fellows—Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Sarajevo-born author Aleksandar Hemon, and Assistant to the President and Director of the Domestic Policy Council Cecilia Muñoz, who is the daughter of immigrants from Bolivia—will talk about their pioneering work as it relates to immigration in a conversation with Cecilia Conrad, the Managing Director of the Fellows Program.
Adichie is the author of the novels Purple Hibiscus; Half of a Yellow Sun; Americanah, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction; the story collection The Thing Around Your Neck; and We Should All Be Feminists, a TED talk which was later published as a book. In her other TED talk, which has 9.7 million views, she warns of the danger of a “single story.”
Hemon is the author of The Lazarus Project, a finalist for the National Book Award, and the short story collections The Question of Bruno, Nowhere Man, and Love and Obstacles. He visited Chicago in 1992, intending to stay for a few of months. While there, Sarajevo came under siege, and he was unable to return home. He wrote his first story in English in 1995.
Muñoz is a longtime leader in immigration and civil rights policy who now oversees the domestic policy-making process in the White House. Before joining the Administration, she served as Senior Vice President for the Office of Research, Advocacy, and Legislation at the National Council of La Raza, the nation’s largest Latino civil rights organization.
Conrad had a distinguished career as both an economics professor and an administrator at Pomona College before joining the MacArthur Foundation. A winner of California’s Carnegie Professor of the Year award, Conrad’s academic research focuses on the effects of race and gender on economic status.
This program is made possible by the generosity of the Emanuel J. Friedman Philanthropies.
The speakers were introduced by Esther Foer.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

(Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
