With immigration dominating the US presidential election today, historians are reconsidering the importance of the 1924 Immigration Act in US law and politics. Join historian Erika Lee (Harvard University and the University of Cambridge) as she offers some insight into the deep-rooted history of xenophobia in the US and what is at stake as Americans head to the polls in November.
