The exhibit explores the historical and continuous journey towards the ideals of America. It includes a series of edited interviews conducted with first-generation immigrants and refugees who arrived in Virginia post-1976.

The New Virginians project is a collaboration between the Library of Virginia and Virginia Humanities, with support from 2019 Commemoration, American Evolution, which names New Virginians a Legacy Project.
