Between 1865 and 1880, Kansas attracted immigrants at a faster pace than anywhere else in the United States. This exhibit personalizes the story of immigration to the state over the last 150 years, revealing who these new Americans were, where they came from, and why they came to Kansas.
Americans by Choice was developed as part of the 150th anniversary celebration of the U.S. District Court of Kansas and is permanently on display in the Robert J. Dole Courthouse in Kansas City, Kansas. A traveling version of the exhibit is coming to the Library.

Twenty years ago James B. Steele co-authored America: What Went Wrong, which argued that the middle class was shrinking, guaranteed pensions would become a thing of the past, and millions would be without health insurance. His new book asserts that “We grossly underestimated how fast the economic ruling class would pull the rug out from under everyone else.”
Steele and his writing partner Donald Bartlett are the only reporting team ever to have received two Pulitzer Prizes and two National Magazine Awards.
