You may have noticed this event originally called for our speaker bill fowler to be here. He is my predecessor at the Historical Society, which many of you already know. He is a distinguished repressor of history at northeastern professor of history at northeastern. We realized that such a fundamental story of the irish in boston would benefit from additional perspectives. He suggested, i will give him credit, this conversation would have more depth if we invited others, leading subject experts on the irish famine in the american response.

I think you win with meeting with people one on one, doing what we just did here, which is talking to people directly, looking them in the eyes, answering their questions. This is a job interview. And i think there was Something Else that was really powerful that we saw yesterday in iowa, is we saw that, old Reagan Coalition coming together.
