The Migration Museum project could not have been more timely. Although we like to forget it, we are a mongrel nation made up of waves of immigrants over the centuries. They made the country what it is. It is important for us to get our history right so that we can get our present and future right. The Migration Museum Project fills an important void in the intellectual and the social life of this country. It deserves our fullest support.
