John Lennon Vs. the USA

John Lennon’s immigration lawyer, Leon Wildes, discusses his new book, John Lennon vs. the U.S.A.

Come learn about the Lennon case, the law, and this fascinating link to contemporary immigration debates. Michael Wildes, Leon’s son and law partner, and Eleanor Pelta, Tenement Museum Trustee and former president of the American Immigration Law Association, join the conversation.
