We conclude our series on New Hampshire’s Immigration Story. Over the past year, we’ve examined our immigrant past -- from that first encounter between Native Americans and Europeans to how newcomers shape our communities today… their contributions, their struggles, and the conflicts that come up. We’ll look at what we’ve learned…and how our immigration story is still being written.
