Bruce Morrison Legacy

The Morrison Visa Program changed the lives of 45,000 Irish men and women, offering them the opportunity to live, work, and contribute to the United States. But this was never just about immigration, it was about recognizing the value Irish-Americans bring to the fabric of the U.S. As Congressman Bruce Morrison famously said: "Immigration is not charity. We didn't award these visas for the good of the Irish. We did it for the good of America." The Bruce Morrison Legacy Project exists to honor this historic moment, share the stories of those whose lives were transformed, and celebrate the bridge built between Ireland and America.
