Out of Many, One: Portraits of America's Immigrants

Out of Many, One is a powerful collection of oil paintings and stories that showcase the inspiring journeys of America’s immigrants.

This book highlights the unique contributions of men and women from thirty-five countries and nearly every region of the world who have come to the United States in pursuit of the American Dream.

Through forty-three full-color portraits and stirring stories, President George W.

Bush captures their faces and experiences in striking detail, bringing depth to our understanding of the immigrant experience.

From a North Korean refugee fighting for human rights to a Dallas-based CEO who crossed the Rio Grande from Mexico at age seventeen, these men and women embody values that are often viewed as distinctly American: optimism and gratitude, a willingness to strive and to risk, a deep sense of patriotism, and a spirit of self-reliance.

Out of Many, One is a moving tribute to the strength and resilience of America's immigrant community, and a testament to the enduring power of the American Dream.
