The Andrew Carnegie Foundation has announced this year’s “Great Immigrants, Great Americans” honorees, including Citi CEO Jane Fraser and Pulitzer Prize-winning authors Hernan Diaz and Cristina Rivera Garza. The awards, launched in 2006, celebrate immigrants' contributions to the U.S. Carnegie Foundation President Dame Louise Richardson said celebrating immigrants' contributions is especially important considering the current debate over immigration policy. Honorees like Dr. Iman Abuzeid and conductor Cristian Măcelaru highlight the opportunities and unique perspectives immigration brings to the country. And Harvard's Gregory Nagy praises the cultural diversity immigrants add to the “melting pot” of America.
